When activist groups struggle with mission evolution after initial success

Our activist group formed around opposing a specific policy, but now that we've won that fight, we can't agree on what comes next and the same passion that united us is turning into arguments about strategy and priorities. Some people want to disband and others want to tackle bigger systemic issues, and every meeting feels like we're trying to be three different organizations at once.
