Maybe give some free advice about: Activism?
Äk'tÉ-vÄz'Ém
n.
The use of direct, often confrontational action, such as a demonstration or strike, in opposition to or support of a cause.
Activism, in a general sense, can be described as intentional action to bring about social or political change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of a controversial argument.
The word 'activism' is often synonymous with protest or dissent. It can take a wide range of forms, from writing letters to newspapers or politicians, to rallies and street marches, direct action, or even guerilla tactics.
In contemporary use, "activism" tends to be a word associated with the actions and ideologies of those on the political left. However, activism can stem from any number of political orientations. An activist may be called a freedom fighter by some, and a terrorist by others, depending on which side of the political fence is making the observation.
