Direct action

Form of activism in which power is used

Direct action is a form of activism in which participants use economic power or political power to achieve their goals. Direct action aims to either obstruct a certain practice such as a government's laws or actions or to draw attention to and create a dialogue in order to solve perceived problems. Direct action may include activities that can be either violent or nonviolent, targeting people, groups, institutions, actions, or property that its participants deem objectionable.
