think globally. Act locally. register to vote. run for local or state office. join nonprofit civic awareness and social change groups. interact with local news media- by phone, email, social media. Get to know your public officials in your city/county/state. see if they need support or replacing. Learn how to do a 'deep dive' into historical narratives, and the moral cores of issues of import. The day-to-day grind of work, managing a business, managing a family can frequently be overwhelming. As cognizant, conscious humans, we have no excuse to not be mindful, aware, and empathetic. To do otherwise is to accept the consequences of being willfully ignorant, unaware, and callous.
