A suggestion that I found helps me is volunteering

I can't do anything about the Supreme Court, but I can do a shift at a food reclamation non-profit. This morning we picked up 16 boxes of bread, 2 boxes of prepared sandwiches, 4 boxes of produce, and 2 boxes of frozen food to be distributed to local community food pantries. And we loaded up 2 vans of food to go out to be distributed this morning. That's tangible good I can see every Saturday morning and be done in 2 hours. I'm not saving everyone who needs food, but I'm saving some. Find a group in your community where you can see the impact.

It's so huge looking at a nationwide program, especially when you can't influence it. Find a place you can influence. It makes me feel so much better when I can act on my values.
