In May 2022, Keiko created and launched the Free Formula Exchange, a nationwide digital mutual aid platform to solve for the baby formula crisis. In June 2022, she organized Swampscott 4 Roe v. Wade, a local, grassroots mobilization effort in support of reproductive justice.

Keiko lives in Swampscott with her son Judah, high school sweetheart and husband Larry, and their goofball dog Tessie. When she’s not organizing a local volunteer event or listening to spooky podcasts, you can usually find her foraging for mushrooms, hiking, painting, singing in Chorus pro Musica, or catching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
