Gilmore Girls was a TV show about a single mother and her family. One thing that was in the show were regular town meetings with the mayor. The townspeople knew each other and mostly agreed on how they wanted things done. When were towns run that way in the real world of the USA? It wasn't happening when I was a baby a zillion years ago.

We're choosing our tribes on the internet now. One issue tribes do work if there are enough agreeing on the actions to take. Such tribes can get things done at a national level.
The guru's of eastern religion and several ancient saints (plus the gnostics) teach that when one reaches enlightenment, no action is desired or required. Living in such a state is living in peace. No fighting. No causes. No belief systems. Getting to enlightenment means letting go of causes, opinions, and wanting to control others. Through letting everything be, as it is, without wanting to change it, one finds peace.
Sarah is on the right track by showing that worrying about problems all over the world is generating discomfort; and that it would be more beneficial to be concerned about what is local. Letting go of worrying about events around the world gives some relief. Not watching national and international news for a while brings calmness. Those are examples of letting go of wanting control. It is seemingly difficult to let go of worrying about things. Worrying is fear. Fear happens when one wants control and believes that one can't control something.
Every fear, worry, and concern you have, is because you are wanting control. If you could release every point where you want control, you would feel the deepest peace you've ever felt. That is the road to enlightenment. The ultimate spiritual freedom.
