Dawson maintains a strong political presence, having publicly endorsed Bernie Sanders during his presidential campaign and participating in several protests. Her activism extends to speaking at the 2009 National Conference on the Primary Prevention of Men's Violence Against Women in Washington, D.C., and serving as honorary host of the fourth annual "Our Voices: Celebrating Diversity in Media" event at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2013.

Embracing her personal identity, Dawson has openly identified as a part of the LGBTQ+ community and spoken about bi-erasure.
