Some thoughts of mine on why activism is important:

Why be an activist?

Your blog post is dead-on about why activism:

1. Is important

2. Must be public

I (and presumably others) have been almost suicidal for want of a positive philosophy, a view of mankind as noble. Religions teach suffering and sacrifice and original sin. Without a counter to this view of the world, it's no wonder a lot of teenagers commit suicide. There's a reason a lot of suicides are bright and gifted teens. If all there is to life is suffering for others until you die, it makes sense to end it early.

Edit: Supporting the ARI is a good start. Thanks for reminding us how important this is!
