How are you going to do that?
What are you doing to help?
TBH, I haven’t found my place in the effort either. But I research the snot out of the matter, and try to be informative at group meets. I don’t think that’s enough to move the needle, though.

Simple doesn’t mean easy.

Stop defending them.
