We're sick of "receiving" when we're not receiving what we want and need; call for a new governor and board for our nonprofit
We are a local nonprofit with a powerful voice.
We have had a series of bad runs with noncommitted governors. Instead of waiting for them to come to us only to fail us, we are actively putting out what we are looking for.
You can be any gender, women or agender with a hard equity understanding for humans with wombs preferred, for our governing board. If you struggle with this deeper understanding of gender (mock it, don't understand it, get it wrong a lot), you will be immediately barred from applying without a second look. People like this clearly and obviously do not have the prerequisite deeper comprehension of the gender situation. In addition, women who think a woman being a hunter is closer to being a man than a woman are immediately disqualified as female misogynists, as are any other type of misogynist. Our founder and CEO is a woman. This is a hunter type position, and she is no less female for it. Calling it narcissitic, male or otherwise will immediately disqualify the female misogynist's involvement for female misogyny. Our technique is advanced and backed by strong math and science. Sorry if this disappoints anyone, but we actually don't care and just feel sad for you that you're disappointed. We are being upfront about that. Men are also encouraged to apply if they feel they fit the following criteria. Any women who apply must have worked through envy or ingratitude towards other women and have little to no history of showing envy and petty rage towards other women should a woman in their life who has had a relationship with or been managed by them be interviewed. Any men also cannot be equally envious of the women in their life and sabotage them or be misogynist behind the scenes to undermine them. Any man who is will not be considered.
We want someone
Who has done grassroots democracy work, like open air fundraising or canvassing. Who has seen how the mass of people act and behave for themselves by going out in the field. Who knows how to look for signs that an area "can do" real change and signs that it can't and has a successful history of strategy with this.
We are looking for someone who can motivate people to get outside and canvass and do democracy work.
We are looking for someone who can challenge rules that were made without the people's direct knowledge and consent administratively, and has the courage to do that and the competence to deliver a better rule on it that is with the consent and knowledge of the people.
We are looking for someone who does not suggest DARPA and military involved government grants that often are linked to technology used to kill Palestinians in a slow burn escalation of the person forced into the grant contract.
We are looking for someone who is good with investment and doesn't expect return to land in their lap and grow enraged and vengeful when it doesn't. We expect someone who knows venture capital is almost never awarded to women and gives it when required. We absolutely do not want someone who steals our ideas for themselves without us benefitting at all or even doing worse because of it.
We are looking for someone who doesn't turn immediately on someone when they don't immediately get theirs; we are looking for someone who has secular faith, aka a deep connection to their own spirit. Religious faith is fine but not preferred. We want people to have access to and a strong relationship with their own spirit without possibly allowing it to be poisoned by religious abuses of power. We want someone who knows what damage not having faith can do whose faith is so strong it still exists in a purely secular world.
We want someone who sees the value and enthusiastically does the work; not someone who struggles to see the value damaging the company due to their constant struggles and flip-flopping and doesn't see the true loss because they failed to ever see the value in this type of work. We don't want any more of that.
We optimally want someone with a strong financial situation that is generous and doesn't require song and dance to back up the nonprofit during emergency situations as is fully expected of any board. We want someone who is conspiring for the good of the nonprofit. We don't absolutely need the governor to be someone wealthy and would prioritize someone with strong belief in the nonprofit with high competence and/or the energy to get information about it out, but this is who we want.
We want someone willing to fight places that don't think nonprofits have a right to ask for donations, who show poor math and science about finances; it is simply that things are donated and we serve the public good that makes them nonprofit, it is not that nonprofits inherently have toxic anorexic type relationships to money.
Anarchist required. Sorry. The system is broken and is murdering people out of narcissistic rage. We're not aiding and abetting. We do not consent. Nobody not anarchist will be considered.
Nobody afraid to be taken to a people's democratically assembled court (see; Ukraine's democratic anarchism) or something like that. Somebody who has good ethics and know they check out under a proper non-monarchy based people's democratically assembled court and goes forward well aware that they have the skills to communicate and prevent anything being taken to court, but should something suboptimal happen, they know they will check out. No commitment issues due to knowing their ethical delivery would not survive a fair and non-corrupt lawsuit. We don't take people on our side to non-corrupt people's courts but we reserve the right to. Somebody competent in their ethics feels safer about this, not more shy, I am absolutely certain of that and have seen that time and time again.
Absolutely little to no signs of envy. This is a feeling without a future. Only can-do, constructive attitudes only. Envy is a waste of time and is useless and we're not going to spend time arguing about that. If you have boundary problems with that, we will take the steps necessary. Envy is a NO.
Pro-empathy, no trying to act like an authority when someone is clearly more skilled than you on something as well. Usually these two come together.
We know this is a lot to ask and don't expect to find it anytime soon.
We are hoping by putting the word out it will make waiting for it less of a waste of time.
We would love this governor and are hoping for it. We can't also be our governor being the founder and CEO otherwise we would definitely just do that as we have made sure we fit our own demands and know what it takes to fill them before putting them forth into the world.
Here's to manifesting what we will receive in an optimal world.
