Check out Anonymous for the Voiceless.
Anonymous for the Voiceless They can be a bit much (graphic) for some, but its definitely a growing movement and active in most major cities. I don't know how active they would be in northern NY in the winter, tho!
Also, you can volunteer with Vegan Outreach
Home - Vegan Outreach when they come to visit colleges in your area - they encourage college students to go vegan through leafletting and virtual reality headsets, believing young adults are the people most likely to be willing and able to make such a major life change. You can also offer to let the activists stay with you for a night or two while they are in town. I've done this for the past several years and I love meeting these kind and dedicated people.
You may want to see if there are any vegan meet-ups, vegan vegfest organizers, or farm animal sanctuaries in your area. Those groups are all likely to attract activists.
And finally, you can always start your own group. The Friday before Valentine's Day is typically Fur-free Friday and fur stores are targeted. Make some signs, post invitations to join you on social media, and spend a few hours getting honks and thumbs-ups on the side of the road! Check with your local ordinances and police, but usually the side of the road is public property (especially in retail areas)and you're allowed to stand there. And free speech is still legal, for now.
ETA - Also, you can be your own billboard. Get some Animal Rights t-shirts and wear them all the time!
