Look harder.

My friends have worked on marriage, marijuana, human trafficking, consumer protection, etc, etc.

(My own efforts weren't as potent. At the time. Though I'd like to think my cohort moved the needle on election integrity issues. All the "radical" stuff we pushed 10 years ago is now received wisdom.)

In fact, I'd argue that most progress is bottom up, happening locally.

I highly recommend Camp Wellstone training for activists. Of course there's many others. On the left.

The political right has no shortage of resources for their activists.
