Why?
What would be the purpose of doing that? Is it problematic to define "activism" broadly?
Purpose of definition
Ultimately, so we know what we're talking about. I don't care how broad.
Which elements are part of "activism"
- Any kind of community change?
- Must be grassroots
- Must be from people unaffiliated with any established organization
