You don't have to wait for others to agree with you. Part of activism is making other people aware of an issue and inspiring passion about it.

The book Playbook For Progress: 16 Qualities of the Successful Organizer has a detailed description of how activism works. It isn't theoretical - the author founded the Bus Rider's Union (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_Riders_Union_(Los_Angeles) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_Riders_Union_(Los_Angeles)).
