Sorta depends on the level of effort you're trying to put out, I think. At minimum, maybe put your socdem hat on and badger your city council about putting down a bike lane or something in an email.
Meet your neighbors, and try and build a bit of a support network in case things really go to shit some way or another.
Full scale organizing is obviously better, but that brings a higher level of effort and challenges, and I can see why people would feel like it's not worth it in a lot of the US.
Thank you! It seems like you think any effort is better than no effort at all, which is how I have felt about it, but wanted to check in and make sure that wasn't totally deluded. People are still trying to do these little things, right? And have these little conversations that might help push people to think about things differently?
Idk, I just really don't want to feel like it's pointless to try. I don't want to write off most of my neighbors. They're not educated, they've got bigotries and other issues, but it would make life a whole lot easier for my trans kid if I could try to gently wake people up, and I don't want to feel like that's a pointless effort.
