Without giving away personal or org information, what are you and your orgs doing with respect to NSPM-7 announced a few days ago? Any changes to what actions your orgs may consider down the road? Suggestions for tightening up opsec? Any union (labor, tenant, or otherwise) members foresee this impacting any ongoing union work?

I'm not from the US, but my two cents would be that anything you can do to protect yourself against surveillance can only be by the logic of protective barricades to slow down and make it harder for the state to pinpoint everyone.

A serious org will still have to work in the open, unmasked, getting in touch with random people and trying to agitate and organize them, etc. So there's a limit to how "anonymous" you can try to be.

This is just carte blanche to allow any law enforcement group or goonsquad to beat up protestors and arrest political opponents. Unions, protestors, reading groups, and college kids, etc.

Bosses will use this against employees that agitate 100%
