I’m no lawyer, constitutional scholar, or political scientist. I don’t expect people here are either. But those people exist. It’s time to organize them and make a new constitution.
What’re the first steps?

Yes I’m aware of the process. But I don’t exactly trust those in power to write one that actually protects individual citizens right now - the vast majority of the political class is only in it for themselves. They’ll happily reintroduce slavery if a billionaire offers them enough money to vote for it.
So I think the better approach is to have the fixes written first - then advocate for it to receptive legislators while marketting it to the American public as a solution that addresses their actual problems. Several amendments were passed by states passing a law where they waited for consensus of 38 states.
You are right to be worried, Conservatives have been angling for a Constitutional Convention for years, specifically to nuke the parts of it they don’t like. 28 states have already called for one.
