Social activism is a term that describes someone who engages in social movements to make change in society. Activism can be directed at making changes in policy, business, culture or anything else that concerns public interest. There are many forms of social activism. Some forms of social activism are grass-roots, which refers to efforts that are led by people at the local level. Other forms of social activism include international activism and street protests.

Activists can choose to be part of any one or many types of social activism. An example of a grass-roots form of social activism would be an animal rights activist. Such an individual believes that animals are persons and should have rights. They may have some specific beliefs about how animals should be treated.

A popular type of social media activism is known as digital activism. In the case of digital activism, the individual uses technologies (such as the Internet and cell phones) to engage in social media activism.

Each protest is led by an individual human rights activist or group of human rights activists. Such individuals may come from different countries, backgrounds and sectors.

In addition to using physical protest tools, an individual can also use technology to engage in social media activism. This is the case when an individual runs an Internet campaign to support his or her political cause. An Internet campaign is a combination of communication and Internet marketing. Activists can use e-mails to explain the human rights issues that he or she wants to raise. The group then disseminates the e-mails to a targeted list of individuals.

Then, activists may use websites and search engines to find and evaluate potential candidates. These candidates can be compared using various metrics such as name, age and gender. These data are then statistically analyzed using the Internet and social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Based on these data, human rights activists may use the collected information to get in touch with elected officials.

Other forms of social action include political speech activities and lobbying.
