Scenario

When community organizing confronts its own contradictions

Our neighborhood group formed to address gentrification but half of us are the gentrifiers and we dance around that fact in every meeting, talking about 'community' and 'belonging' while the people who've lived here longest get quieter and quieter.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group's composition embodies the very problem it seeks to solve, creating an unspoken tension that undermines authentic engagement.
