If you're an activist focused on any issue or region in the world, you need to always be mindful of other activists who share your values who are struggling on other issues or regions. Yes, very often we do not have the bandwidth, but that should never mean not caring.
Follow some of them, engage them, and if you can, meet them and make friends. Understanding their struggle will deepen your understanding of yours. Even if it doesn't turn into outright collaboration, it'll ensure that they're within your circle of concern.
I say this because I notice how many activists screw over other activists, not because they're bad people, but because they're too narrowly focused on their own cause, and don't realize how their own activism, narratives, alliances etc screw over others who are struggling.
I mean, you shouldn't become an everywhere/everything activist (and you can't be, at least not authentically), but at least be mindful that the way you conduct your own fight shouldn't be at the expense of other people's fight. Other people who should be your allies.
