When community building efforts become exclusionary spaces

Our neighborhood group chat started as a way to build community but it's become this place where we complain about 'those people' - the renters, the families with multiple cars, anyone who doesn't keep their yard exactly right. We've accidentally created an exclusive culture when we meant to create connection.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to create belonging can transform into the need to define who doesn't belong.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Unintended legacy — what we leave without meaning to?”

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
