Scenario

When community groups discover conflicting assumptions about power and purpose

Our community kitchen collective started as a way to share resources and build connection, but it's become clear that some people see this as charity work helping 'food insecure' neighbors while others see it as mutual aid among equals. The different frameworks are creating tension about everything from how we talk about the work to who gets to make decisions about programming.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

People working toward the same practical goal operate from incompatible frameworks about who has power and what the work means.
