If it's darkness, it needs Light: it's probably that simple. It's the answer to the question "should Christians be involved in politics, or speak up about injustices in the world or have the voice of Light in this 'present darkness?'"
If your child were caught in the middle of that darkness would you want to shine a light into it and expose its evil? If the darkness directly affected you, would you want someone to shine into your situation and loose the bonds of wickedness?
This world is imprisoned in darkness, drowning in its own misery and filth and blinded by the dark god of this age. Unfortunately, darkness doesn't go away on its own...it grows...and the only remedy for darkness is light. Since we are the Light, we are the remedy for darkness! The job of a light is to shine: so find some darkness and shine into it! It might be political darkness or religious darkness or educational darkness, but whatever the form of darkness, the remedy is the same: the LIGHT of God's Truth, love and power.
"Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it" (John 1:4-5, HCSB)
