Select one and only one cause to join that you really care about.
Activism is useful for networking as already mentioned. Treat it as a tool, not as an achievement.
Read to find out what really needs to change. What are the root causes? What keeps the movement from being effective?
Again select just one of these according to your abilities.
Edit: Oh and please just do it. Don't get lost in "I will be more effective by earning money and paying someone to do it." mindgames. You can't pay them to actually care, they will do a lousy job. Find something you can do and grow with the challenge!
