This was a good start because it mobilized some passionate people.
The next step is building effective organizations for these people to get behind, organizations that promote a minimalist tech/privacy platform - leave off controversial issues like immigration, as much as it tempts you. The purpose of these organizations should be that anybody who supports it gets reelected, and anybody that doesn't loses their job. This is the same principle that powerful unions and interest groups work on.
All other bullshit issues of the day have to become secondary importance, or this organization will never gain clout.
