Plural of activism; forms of vigorous or militant action or engagement for a cause.
From 'active' + '-ism' (suffix for practices or movements) + '-s' (plural). The term 'activism' emerged in the late 19th century, gaining prominence during civil rights movements.
Different 'activisms' have different styles—some are loud and confrontational, others are quiet and persistent. Environmental activism looks different from labor activism, which looks different from digital activism, but they all share a belief that change requires action.
