Scenario

When community projects unintentionally exclude the people they meant to serve

Three of us started this community garden project in our neighborhood and we all believed it would bring people together but now we're seeing how it's actually excluding the Spanish-speaking families and we're not sure how to acknowledge that we built something that reproduces the same barriers we thought we were addressing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Confronting how good intentions can perpetuate exclusion when the work of true inclusion requires dismantling systems rather than just creating new spaces.
