Gotta take things small and build community back up. In Ohio, we got a restaurant to cancel an event with a gubernatorial candidate, because he was a literal Nazi. It didn't take many of us to message a template to the restaurant, tell them to cancel or be boycotted. They listened, we all went.

Raising community standards of respectability can be done a little at a time. The more we find little, easy wins, to make our community a little bit better, then I think we'll start being able to make big changes.
