Down with cis

You just kinda gotta do stuff. Go the gym, pick up a hobby, join an org, go the park, go to a convention, etc. and then just be active and talkative.

Getting introduced to new people by your current friends is also a neat strat

It means joining or making a group, then working with that group to advance common goals. A lot of the specifics depend on your opinions (which political party, if any, to join, whether adventurism is okay, etc.), but unionization for example is generally a kind of organizing that most people support.

Striking and fighting are just a very small part of that, a lot if it is about getting other people to join your group, or somehow convincing people that you are in the right (or, bleh, electoralism (hecking DSA)).
