Why do you think we only need to focus on one issue at a time? You’re setting yourself up for failure, as you’re saying you need to be convinced that this moral issue is the “most important” (by whatever metric that requires).
Instead, we can accept that there are many issues worth addressing, and we can make a dent in any number of them. If you want to stop supporting unfathomable violence against innocent sentient being, just stop paying people to kill them. That doesn’t mean you can’t also advocate for issues like clean water for all, or ending malaria, or donating to a homeless shelter in your town.
We rarely actually need to make compromises on the amount of good we can contribute to the world.
