Scenario

When intentional communities face disability and governance conflicts

We're a housing co-op that's been operating by consensus for years, but now we have a member whose mental health struggles mean they can't participate in the decision-making process consistently. We want to support them but our whole governance structure assumes everyone can show up equally.

More people experience this than they realize.
