It is definitely hard! Lockdown plus winter plus it triply tough, in addition to the huge systemic issues of gentrification fracturing neighborhoods, community spaces being defunded, and more. I try to organize in my community and mask at indoor events but I know even that can be hard especially for folks who are more rural and for people who may have fewer like minded neighbors around. Hope you're able to find at least one space that can feel like a hub to meeting people and connect! And there are some great virtual spaces although that's a whole nother convo haha
