Having lived in both St. Paul and Minneapolis in Minnesota, Saleh often participated in demonstrations in these neighbourhoods. In 2020, after the murder of George Floyd, they took part in many rallies in Minnesota. Their passion for social justice impacts their work and music. In 2020, they released a song titled "Body Cast", which discusses police brutality. Saleh used the song as an opportunity to raise funds for Women For Political Change, an organisation that works with "young women and trans & non-binary individuals throughout Minnesota".
"I was formerly an organiser — I feel like I'm trying my hardest to get back to the movement in the best ways I can as an artist, and what I have to offer are hypervisibility and funds," Saleh said in an interview with Paper magazine.
