Raven had every reason to not trust him enough to play ball with him and do nothing. At the very least, she's being active in keeping her people alive, unlike Ozpin. Sure, she's not helping them fight Salem, but she's doing something.

I bet the Salem issue would be over with right now if they pooled their manpower. Oz's group, RWBY, and Raven's tribe. That's like an army they could use to wage war on Salem's faction and her Grimm. Not even close. Quality often beats Quantity, but when Quantity is pretty much endless, Quality loses. It's the reason Mt. Glenn fell: Endless Grimm, not-endless Hunters.

Besides, how many people-in-high-places actually know about Salem? How many people are capable of actively helping fight her without raising questions or causing panic?

It's like when Ironwood sent his fleet to Vale to help defend it should anything happen: Sure, he's in the game and knows to be prepared, but to everyone else who doesn't know what's in the loop, all Ironwood was doing was seem less like a Defender and more like a Conqueror, causing unrest and paranoia.

Imagine if you woke up and the whole city you live in was full of foreign soldiers and military vehicles. Not a fun sight.
