Activism refers to the efforts and actions taken by individuals or groups to promote, impede, or direct social, political, economic, or environmental change. It involves advocating for specific causes, raising awareness about issues, and mobilizing public opinion or support to effect change. Activism can take various forms, including protests, demonstrations, lobbying, grassroots organizing, and social media campaigns. The underlying motivation for activism is often a desire for justice, equality, or reform in response to perceived inequalities or injustices in society. Activists may focus on a wide range of issues, such as human rights, climate change, education reform, or animal rights, and their activities can be both peaceful and confrontational, depending on the context and goals.
