I think storytelling is the best way to get people to care about issues because it provides education through empathy. Sparking this connection is not only a way to inform readers; really good writing makes them want to do something about these issues. No revolution has been devoid of passion, and I think it's important to stimulate the same excitement you have in others to make real world change.
