Scenario

When activist groups reproduce the class dynamics they oppose

Our activist collective keeps talking about centering working-class voices but when it comes to actual decision-making, the people with more education and free time end up running everything because they can attend all the meetings and write the grants. We say we want economic justice but we're reproducing class hierarchies in how we organize ourselves.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Progressive organizations often replicate systemic inequalities in their own structures while advocating against them.
