In my eyes, the difference between a group and a community is that a community shares a set of common values, whereas a group may not. A group is united by similar characteristics, or to achieve a common goal, but its individuals do not necessarily operate under the same moral principles. Membership is the title one receives as part of a group, but belonging occurs when one is reassured, accepted, and cared for as part of a community. I think that the most effective efforts towards change come from communities, or the point at which groups recognize their common values, embracing themselves as a community. Communities can utilize their shared values to dive head first into combatting injustice and inequality. Both groups and communities can promote discussions of values, but the friction of opposing core values in certain groups can keep them from being as mobile and impactful as communities.
