Week 4 Session 1What is an example of community activism?
Examples include petitions, letters, media campaigns, sit-down strikes, and public protest including individual actions through to mass marches, boycotts, blockades, civil disobedience, and lobbying. Which methods are adopted will depend on the catalyst around which motivation for action occurs. Community activism can have a wide meaning to include social movements promoting participatory democracy or a more limited meaning which focuses on grassroots actions. Activism is generally associated with some public action designed to raise awareness around an issue usually related to matters of social, political or economic importance.
