When activist groups face success and scope creep

Our neighborhood organizing group formed around a specific housing issue, but now that we've had some success, people want to take on different causes and we can't agree on priorities or how broad our focus should be. Some want to keep momentum going on related issues, others think we should stick to our original mission, and a few want to dissolve now that we accomplished our goal.
