Vegans: how do you get enough calcium?

I'm not a vegan but a couple of years ago I was given a high cholesterol warning and I changed my diet. My dairy intake is minimal these days, just zero fat yogurt very occasionally.

I'm sort of aware that I don't get a lot of calcium in my diet and I thought I'd ask people who eat absolutely no dairy.

(To be doubly clear I am asking for ideas and not having a go at vegans.)

I'm not vegan but we have lactose intolerance in our family so we use oat milk. Nearly of the plant based milks have added calcium and vitamin D to the same levels as cows milk. Also a lot of breakfast cereals and cereal bars have added calcium, it all adds up.

Oh thanks, I didn't realise that about plant milks.
