How to navigate racial hierarchy and allyship in activist communities

My community organizing group is supposed to be building racial solidarity but we keep getting stuck on whose experience gets centered and whether white allies should step back or stay engaged and nothing is getting decided.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group committed to racial justice is paralyzed by their own internal dynamics around racial positioning and decision-making power.
