When educated organizers struggle to center working-class leadership

My organizing collective is mostly college-educated people trying to build working-class power, and we keep using language and meeting styles that exclude the very communities we claim to serve, but pointing this out gets labeled as 'divisive.'

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The tools and methods of organizing are reflecting the privilege of the organizers rather than the needs of the community.
