How activist groups navigate when members gain different levels of visibility

Our activist collective formed around a shared sense of being marginalized, but some members have gained platforms and influence over the past year while others haven't, and it's creating this weird dynamic where we don't know if we're still the same 'us' that came together originally. The people with bigger voices say nothing's changed but those of us watching from the sidelines feel differently.
