Scenario

When activist groups get stuck between reform and revolution

Our activist collective has been working on housing justice for five years, but we're split between people who want to work within the system through policy change and people who think the system is fundamentally broken and we need more radical approaches. Every strategy decision becomes a philosophical battle and we're spending more energy fighting each other than fighting for housing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group united in purpose is paralyzed by disagreement over methods, with each approach reflecting deeper beliefs about change itself.
