Community coalitions, as they are currently applied, are unique organizations whose ability to promote community change is different from other types of community organizations. This article explores those differences and elaborates how community coalitions can use those differences to transform conflict into greater capacity, equity, and justice. Concerns are also raised in this article about how community coalitions can intentionally and unintentionally protect the status quo and contain the empowerment of grassroots leadership and those of marginalized groups. There is a need for more theory, research, and discourse on how community coalitions can transform conflict into social change and how they can increase the power of grassroots and other citizen-lead organizations.
社区联盟，就其目前的应用情况而言，是独特的组织，其促进社区变革的能力不同于其他类型的社区组织。本文探讨了这些差异，并阐述了社区联盟如何利用这些差异将冲突转化为更强的能力、公平和正义。本文还提出了一些关切，即社区联盟如何有意无意地维护现状，并抑制基层领导力和边缘化群体领导力的赋权。对于社区联盟如何将冲突转化为社会变革，以及如何增强基层组织和其他公民主导组织的力量，需要更多的理论、研究和论述。
