Disgusting that this scumbag is going after refugee organisations and charity workers. It shows why as a sector we need to be vocally opposed to the far right and not be guided by any notions of politeness! Organise with @iwgbcharityworkers.bsky.social

Keep your eyes peeled over the coming months as the IWGB Charity Workers Branch starts a conversation about political economy in the third sector. If you want to discuss charity sector issues with your fellow workers – sign up with the link in our bio! 3/3

The myth of a straightforwardly benign charity sector hides the unique value that the establishment gains from the exploitation of charity workers. These 5 issues highlight the class conflict that has driven both the growth of the sector and the immiseration within it. 2/3

People often see the charity sector as an ethical enclave within an otherwise exploitative economy. While many charities do great work, the truth is more complicated. In 2025 we want to take a deeper look into the tax-exempt wing of capitalism. 1/3

A shout out to our fantastic casework team (some of whom are 📸 pictured below) who help their fellow charity workers challenge work place injustice 💪. They have supported so many of us in 2024 and they are going into 2025 stronger than ever 🎉 🥳
