Basic idea (which I’m just spitballing here) is get communities to use a Bitcoin backed chaumian mint to power their already prolific community currencies. Already has legal precedent, would make hundreds of local businesses in each area immediately able to accept Lightning payments, and would provide a better user experience for shoppers and merchants.
Further upside is that it would be very difficult politically to shut them down. Small towns local businesses are by their nature distributed and politically unfavourable to punish.
