Scenario

When community projects surface deeper social tensions

Our community garden has become a microcosm of every class and cultural difference in our neighborhood, and simple decisions about what to plant or how to maintain shared spaces turn into arguments about whose knowledge counts and whose needs matter most. People are starting to avoid the meetings and just do their own thing, which defeats the whole purpose of doing this together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

People trying to create something together are discovering that collaboration requires navigating differences they didn't expect to matter.
