Activism Industry
Some groups and organizations participate in activism to such an extent that it can be
considered as an industry. In these cases, activism is often done full-time, as part of an
organization's core business. Many organizations in the activism industry are either nonprofit
organizations or non-governmental organizations with specific aims and objectives
in mind. Most activist organizations do not manufacture goods, but rather mobilized
personnel to recruit funds and gain media coverage.
The term activism industry has often been used to refer to
outsourced fundraising operations. However, activist organizations engage in other
activities as well. Lobbying, or the influencing of decisions made by government, is
another activist tactic. Many groups, including law firms, have designated staff assigned
specifically for lobbying purposes. In the United States, lobbying is regulated by the
federal government.
