Scenario

How community groups navigate ideological differences about strategy

Our neighborhood organizing group formed after the police shooting last year and we were unified by anger and grief, but now we're trying to decide on actual policy proposals and it's clear we have fundamentally different theories about how change happens. Some want to work within the system and others think that's naive, and our meetings are becoming tense.

More people experience this than they realize.
