   No matter what your cause is, it’ll remain a lost cause until we get at the root of the problem, which is big money (especially big DARK money) in politics. But 10% of us are working on gun violence, 10% on climate change, 10% on women’s health, 10% on workers’ rights, 10% on prison reform, 10% on gerrymandering, 10% on gay rights, 10% on immigration, 10% on the ERA, etc. We’ve gotta get our act together and all go after the one big elephant in the room. I’m not holding my breath.
