I have the racism and Doctor Who essay written out longhand ready for type up, and it's just so fucking depressing that I'm really wondering if being part of this project is worth the toll on me. Is this cosmically worth it? Would anyone learn or change their minds?

Being a part of that project is not worth a personal toll on you. You're more important than the book.

Also, no amount of information will persuade someone who doesn't care about changing their behavior and there are other resources for anyone who does. Don't put pressure on yourself to redeem or convince anyone.

This is how I've been feeling as I force myself to relive some rather unpleasant times. The majority of the potential audience, though, seems to think otherwise. :/

I support whatever choice you make, but I don't think that you should put pressure on yourself. You don't need to take on the weight of redeeming anyone, let alone trying to counterbalance potential wankers who might be involved.

It's up to you to decide what's best for you, but my advice is to only contribute if you feel you have something to express and that this project is the way you want to distribute it. Not participating does not mean you've been silent (you have a journal that people read) or that you've let anyone down. You are real. We can only guess about the possible audience.
