How to address participation imbalance in peer advisory groups

I'm in a peer advisory group where two members dominate every discussion and three others barely speak, and somehow we keep pretending this is working for everyone. The facilitator doesn't seem to notice and I'm not sure if it's my place to say something, but the quiet members are the ones I'd most like to hear from.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A couple of people dominate your group while the ones you'd most like to hear from stay silent, and no one says anything.
