Fighting for change

Going off of Junipers post I wondered whether there is a strong sense of shaming those who don’t join up to fight the causes.

One of my favourite quotes:

“Whether you fight for animal or human rights, work on poor eyesight or mental illness, challenge the government for wrongs local or global, seek to lessen the burden on the poor, or battle to bring water, health care, and education to those who need it, you are a changemaker, part of the warp and weft of social change. Social change is far more than technology and longer than a 50-year story. Trying to improve our children’s future is as old as history. We engage in it because we are activists and, deep inside, optimists.”

So do you judge or shame others for not fighting for things such as the environment, human rights, animal rights..?

Do you think there’s an ignorance or lack of knowledge as to how people can help?

Personally I don’t, I feel that a lot of people can get quite preachy when it comes to certain issues. I do my bits for these issues but would like to have more money behind me to do more.
