Show compassion to yourself first, and then those closest, it ripples out. If you are trying to help, heal, so far out, such large systems, without healing yourself it is pointless. Your healing, your groundedness, your non-duality, your inviting presence, is what provides the opportunity when you come into contact with others Loving kindness meditation is a good practice for this as well
