Scenario

When activist groups get stuck between processing and action

Our activist group has been working on housing justice for three years and we've had some wins, but lately the meetings feel more like therapy sessions where we process how awful everything is rather than planning actual action. Half of us think we need to refocus on concrete campaigns and half think the emotional processing is the real work of building sustainable movement.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group committed to change is paralyzed by disagreement about whether healing or doing should take precedence.
