MORE ABOUT ACTIVIST

What does activist mean?

An activist is a person who engages in activism—the practice of taking direct action to achieve political or social goals.

An activist may support a particular cause (or range of causes) or oppose it.

In any case, an activist tries to achieve such goals through direct (and continued) actions, such as protests, lawsuits, lobbying, petitions, and strikes.

The word activist implies that the person takes such actions consistently—that they are consistently active in these pursuits. For example, protesting is a form of activism, but someone who attends one protest probably wouldn’t be called an activist (unless they continue to take such actions).

The word activist is often preceded by a word referring to the kind of cause the activist is involved in, as in political activist or animal rights activist. 

It can also be used as an adjective to describe such people or their activities, as in activist lawyer or activist organization. 

Example: The prominent activist is known for organizing this summer’s mass protests.

Where does activist come from?

The first records of the word activist come from around the early 1900s. It’s a combination of active and the suffix –ist, which indicates a person who practices something or holds certain principles. The related suffix -ism is used in words that refer to such practices or doctrines, such as activism.

Activism implies active participation in a cause—participation that is consistent and lasts. The word is sometimes used in terms that imply that someone has a specific agenda. This is the case in terms like activist judge, which implies that such a judge will not be objective or impartial and will instead make rulings based on a specific agenda.

How is activist used in real life?

People who are called activists typically work for or against change in political and social areas.

Being a social justice activist, organizer or advocate calls on us to do the “non-sexy” work. Doing the research and homework isn’t sexy. However, nothing causes more detriment to the movement than a loud voice that speaks purely from a place of emotion while ignoring facts.
