Modeling good behaviors enact change at a grassroots level. It's a great educational method.
You meet up with friends for a quick meal and either say "I'm going to go wash my hands before we eat" or pull out the hand sanitizer, usually everybody you are joining will join you on that behavior because it is low cost-high reward.
Another example is taking your kid to storytime at the library. You, as a parent, watch the librarian read to your kid and you notice that they ask questions about the story, or point at certain words, so you do that later when you read to your kid. Everybody benefits.
The world is fucking bleak at the moment, but our good actions become modeled actions to others, and that does a world of good.
