You want to be out there fighting the good fight and causing a stir, but it can feel dangerous to put yourself in that risky situation. Think twice. Coming to the defense of other people could cost you right now. Are you prepared for the price you may have to pay? Make sure you don't tell anyone you can help them unless you can fully commit to them. Flaking out at the last minute is no way to handle things. Think things through before signing anything.
