Thank you. Valid points, all.

Regarding the media ...... long ago, in the pre-internet era, I found ways to get media attention. That included being creative, and aware that while reporters tended to be liberal, their bosses were usually conservative. I found the key was to get one local media source to report on the given issue, as others would soon follow.

Though some of the newspapers I once used have gone under, there are lots of alternative sources. Your friend is a good example of someone who is creative. In my opinion, it will be grass roots individuals and small groups going for a common goal in a largely decentralized manner that can institute meaningful change.
