I agree completely that talking with people about values is the right way to go. Also, I don’t think we need to try and convince them to be utilitarians or nearly-utilitarian. Stressing that all people are equal and pointing to the terrible injustice of the current situation is already powerful, and those ideas aren’t distinctively utilitarian.
