I understand activism to be public displays/performances of public unrest, public acts of resistance against government/power, and public attempts to change public opinion. I understand organizing to be unified actions to collectively organize peoples to actively bargain, protest, or resist in order to bring about positive social changes. I believe that they are both necessary tactics and should be present in a democracy. The social justice aspect of this archive are groups that are seeking redress for social injustices.
