Ok having this on your resume / certifications is exactly how you avoid getting hired.

HN activists listen to me - tech bosses are actively avoiding hiring people who want to bring this stuff to work. Some are more vocal than others, but even the ones who agree with your views and ideologies will actively avoid hiring an activist. They do not want their companies to be distracted by your interest in changing the world.

If this offends you I am sorry but this is a growing trend in the valley and beyond. My advice would be to return to university or work in an institution where social activism and extra curricular activities are part of the mission.
