When your friend group becomes consumed by activist causes

Our friend group has become completely consumed by this local housing justice campaign and while I believe in the cause, I'm starting to feel like if you question any of the tactics or express any doubt, you get iced out, and I don't know if I'm being reasonable or if I'm just not committed enough to justice.

What we've seen

The very belonging that gives meaning and identity within a cause-oriented community can become a trap where questioning feels like betrayal and doubt feels like moral failure.
