An activist is a person who campaigns for some kind of social change. When you participate in a march protesting the closing of a neighborhood library, you're an activist.
Someone who's actively involved in a protest or a political or social cause can be called an activist. Demonstrations, strikes, and sit-ins are all ways that an activist might work toward the change she believes in. The root word of activist is the Latin actus, "a doing, a driving force, or an impulse." Someone who acts on what she believes is an activist.
Activist have been around for years, fighting for different beliefs trying to make the world a better one. In this blog I will be sitting down with Activist from around the US and from other countries in one on one interviews discussing a wide variety of topics and causes. There will be topics and discussions for everyone to partake in and, will be able learn about causes from around the world. Follow me on this journey of discovery and activism throughout the world while we learn new problems and meet new people who are trying to answer those problems.
