Focus on the Goal, Not the Method: A Call for Unity in Advocacy

In a short video posted on May 17, 2025, from Australia, social media influencer Jordan Tan (@_jordantan_) discussed the importance of focusing on shared goals in advocacy. Tan's video, which has already garnered 354 views and 37 likes, argues against the tendency to criticize the methods of fellow advocates who share the same ultimate objectives. "Why are we so focused on that?" Tan questions, highlighting the waste of resources in nitpicking approaches when the overall goal is aligned. The video promotes a message of collaboration and unity, suggesting that those who disagree with an approach should either implement their own method or support those whose methods align with their preferences. This sentiment resonates with the current social climate, where collaborative efforts are often crucial for achieving significant social change. Tan's video serves as a timely reminder to prioritize shared goals and work together, rather than getting bogged down in minor differences.
