Where are all the activists?

I find it shocking and deeply disturbing that out of the alleged 14,332,741  "Care2 Members," most of whom are casual visitors from Facebook, a terrifyingly low number of Care2 members support vital causes that must be promoted to make the world a decent place to live:

Out of the 14,332,741 human beings touched by Care2,

Only 43,874 Care2 members openly support human rights, including elimination of starvation, and international peace and justice actions.

Only 34, 976 Care2 members openly support civil rights actions.

Only 22,449 Care2 members openly support women's rights actions.

And I suspect that a lot of these supporters are those individuals who support all of the above, and get counted three times.

One person can change the world.  But 14 million could really help.

Why are most members simply passive complainers?  What are we going to do about this?
