Advocate for what should happen, not what you think is possible. It may not happen even if you do advocate for it, but one thing is certain. Nothing will ever happen if you don't advocate for it. People were advocating for Abolition, for Women's Suffrage, for workers' rights, and for Civil Rights long before they were "possible."
