direct action theory

Direct action theory is a political strategy where individuals or groups engage in activities like protests, strikes, or sit-ins to visibly bring attention to their cause. Rather than waiting for political change through traditional channels, they take immediate, tangible actions to challenge injustice or advocate for change. This approach aims to create pressure and raise awareness by directly involving people in disruptive, public acts, often emphasizing urgency and moral appeal over negotiation through conventional political processes.
