Activism has been very productive in our society.

Activism could be defined as activities engaged in by individuals to change there of others situation.

Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.

Activists are generally doers - rather than watching television and thinking about the world they will put there energies into doing something 'active' to change the (political) situation.

One example of 21st century activism we are engaging in is All Out, a first-of-its-kind global movement to advance the interests and rights of LGBT people. All Out is bringing together people of all identities to build a world in which everyone can live freely and be embraced for who they are.

Philanthropy is activism.

I think, at the end of the day, acting and activism are both about empathy. You're trying to get people to see other people as real and human. And to care.

Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

An activist is one who is actively involved in creating community, whether that is locally in their neighborhood or internationally. It is an admirable quality.

I've been involved in social activism my entire life, and I would argue that many people involved in social activist movements have done very little work on themselves.
