it is hard to imagine the need for change in an affluent society but if you lived in a poor area or in africa or latin america where the context is different. i think you would have a different point of view.
examples of church programs like nursery, preschool, tutoring, drug rehab, voter registration, demonstrating for worker rights to unionize etc these are things the church should be doing to better the life of the kingdom and if the church should come to power it should advocate for those policies which most help the poor.
if you were in charge of a poor country, what policies would you advocate?

The church, or Christians, should help the poor, not engage in revolutions. The church should not be in charge of governments
The church changes through spiritual means not political activism. Vote your conscious but don't confuse what the church is
