Scenario

When community organizations split over legal risks of direct action

Our community mutual aid group has been debating whether to keep helping people stay housed through rent strikes and other tactics that exist in legal gray areas, and some members think we're exposing everyone to too much liability while others think we're abandoning our most vulnerable neighbors if we stop.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group's commitment to helping people collides with members' different comfort levels around legal exposure and collective responsibility.
