Activism
Activism may seem like an easy task where people just come together to organize a protest in hopes to make an impact. However, there is more to activism; it requires a lot of research , facts and reliable sources. And this is because to make changes, you have to be knowledgeable on whatever cause you follow.
Many become activists try to make impact in the world and end up going the wrong way about it. Their peaceful protests turn into riots and the exhibition of violent behaviour because their requests to make changes may not be necessarily answered.
True activism requires patience and practical strategies to make an impact. That is why there is a need for Wikipedia for activists. So anyone can be guided in the most appropriate way to ensure peaceful protests and meetings.
