(22,920 posts)this has to be a multi-pronged effort.
Our country is so steeped in extreme competition, rather than collaboration, that fighting for causes famously becomes competitive and often nasty.
Except for the most extreme advocates of racial justice and advocates of economic justice who will remain militant (and I think there may be a place for that so long as there is no physical violence, as we do have a tendency to become complacent as a society), I wish more people could put their complete attention and energy into whatever they are most passionate about, without diminishing or demeaning the other issues or advocates of those issues.
I favor a triage approach, personally, but there are so many reasons people can be more effective working on one cause more than another yet still completely support the other cause.
