I mean, I organize petitions, write op-eds (incl. in major national papers), contribute to OSS, have back-and-forths with major decision makers in public, etc.

I mean, I organize petitions, write op-eds (incl. in major national papers), contribute to OSS, have back-and-forths with major decision makers in public, etc. ... But I don't seem to reach through. I'd be willing to do volunteer work or start an organization, but can't really run for office as I have another career. Besides: I don't know what party would have me, because it seems to me that the politicians don't understand the arguments nor the premise – they're no tech-experts, after all (which is part of the problem, I suspect).
