I totally hear you. As you know, I'm very pro- certain things, but am not actually an activist except in expressing my opinion on Facebook or LJ.
There are causes in which I would do the work, but others would try to take the credit; as well, there are also causes in which people demand of you to make it your primary cause ahead of work, school, etc.
The question I always ask myself in such cases is: Am I being held to a higher standard than the person making demands of me? If the answer is yes and a secondary answer is No, I'm not b eing paid for this shit, then I just bow out.
