Practicing moral courage in the real world?

http://refugeesg.wordpress.com/petition/...
What many of us dont know, is that there is a refugee crisis going on in Southeast Asia. I dont want to elaborate too much on it, as it is all in the link, above. What you need to know, is that it is happening now, it is not being stopped, and it is not going to be stopped unless we take some action.
My question is this. While we all (well most of us, anyway) claim to have morals and ethics, how many of us has any real moral courage? Stand up for what we beleive in and try to make a difference? Please share your experiences, on how it was standing up for a cause you believed in, and share with us whatever difficulties you faced, that got in your way.
Answers:
Standing up for what you believe in is one thing.
Standing up for what someone else thinks you should believe in something else.
Everyone has priorities -- and what happens to people on the other side of the world is far lower on my priority scale than that's happening here in the US -- but that's a personal choice -- everyone has their own set of priorities and everyone needs to determine what is important to them.

We can't solve the problems of the world..Darfur is an example
