Scenario

When activist organizations reproduce the systems they oppose

We started this social justice organization to address inequality, but our own internal dynamics mirror exactly the power structures we're trying to change in the world. The irony is becoming impossible to ignore, and I don't know if we can transform ourselves or if we need to start over.
