In this roundup, we responded to the questions: How do you deal with the turbulence/fractious atmosphere within groups over highly political views? There's often other political things going on that split the group... people turn on each other or on leaders.​​​​​ Mediation and conflict resolution is one thing, but how do you treat this? Activists working on different issues find it challenging to navigate political polarization and build alliances across ideological divides, and between cultural differences versus reality... especially when the problem originates within a particular area with strong cultural beliefs and values.

In this roundup, we responded to the question: How do you simplify your message and discourse for your target group when creating a campaign message?
