Our neighborhood group has been trying to address gentrification and displacement for months but we keep having the same circular conversations where the longtime residents and the newer residents talk past each other.

More people experience this than they realize.
A group with shared concerns is stuck in patterns that prevent them from moving from caring to effective collective action.
