Scenario

When organizing partners disagree on local versus electoral impact

My organizing partner and I disagree about whether to focus our limited volunteer hours on voter registration in swing districts or helping with direct services in our own struggling neighborhood. We both believe in maximizing impact but we're working from completely different theories of change.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
