Social justice and activism was a large part of Sue's life. She studied and was involved with many issues and spoke out about societal injustices, always looking for ways she could help or get the word out. During her extensive travels, she used those opportunities to engage with local communities through volunteering efforts to promote causes that she believed in. Many of her volunteer efforts related to environmental causes and supporting community engagement events. 

Causes that she advocated for included:

  • Anti-War Protesting 
  • Anti-Racism and Civil Rights
  • Environmental Policy
  • LGBTQIA+ Rights
  • Women's Liberation
