Join the roomEl activismo consiste en esfuerzos para promover, impedir, dirigir o intervenir en reformas sociales, políticas, económicas o ambientales con el deseo de realizar cambios en la sociedad hacia un bien común percibido. Las formas de activismo van desde la construcción de mandatos en una comunidad, la petición a funcionarios electos, la participación o contribución en una campaña política, el patrocinio preferencial de negocios y formas demostrativas de activismo como mítines, marchas callejeras, huelgas, sentadas o huelgas de hambre.
“My point is not that everything is bad, but that everything is dangerous, which is not exactly the same as bad. If everything is dangerous, then we always have something to do. So my position leads not to apathy but to a hyper- and pessimistic activism. I think that the ethico-political choice we have to make every day is to determine which is the main danger.”
“We activists are not in the business of brokering power where expediency and compromise rule. Our business is to resist and expose the ugly face of power. We are guided and our work is informed by deeply held human values and causes. It seems to me that consistency of principles and commitment to humanity should inform all our work, thought, activism and advocacy.”
“Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
“Activism is the rent I pay for living on the planet.”
