I'm an active member in my local DSA chapter, and have had training (in the past couple of months) with a rapid response network on how to spot ICE agents in my area, and how to help targeted folx.

Additionally, I've helped raise awareness for a state wide tax the rich campaign, to help fund state-wide childcare.
