Scenario

When community organizing reveals deep divides about the problem itself

Our neighborhood group formed to address gentrification but the longtime residents and newer residents have completely different ideas about what the problems are and what solutions look like, and our meetings have become a place where we perform agreement instead of actually working through the differences.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared concern doesn't guarantee shared analysis, and avoiding conflict prevents the deeper work of building authentic coalition.
