Quotations regarding 'Activism'

Choose a letter: 
Maybe subconsciously I've kept activism separate from acting because it's important to me in a more profound way.

Our Parliamentary system has simply failed to meet the challenge of judicial activism.
Stockwell Day, Canadian Politician (1950-  )
Activism could be defined as activities engaged in by individuals to change there of others situation.
Ben Edwards, British Entertainer
But as for activism, my parents did what they could, given the constraints, but were never involved in the causes I think of when I think of activists.
Paul Farmer, American Educator (1959-  )
There's enormous progressive activism and, more often than not, success at the grassroots level - everything from living wage campaigns to efforts to finance our elections are having terrific success.
Jim Hightower, American Activist (1943-  )
Ten years ago, 15 years ago, I think the church would have been asleep at the switch. This level of activism and engagement with the needs of society by local churches I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.
Bill Hybels, American Clergyman
Out of control judicial activism threatens traditional marriage in America.
Ernest Istook, American Politician (1950-  )
That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.
June Jordan, American Writer (1936-2002)
My pro-choice activism keeps me busy.
Margot Kidder, American Actress (1948-  )
It wouldn't be fair to say that conservatives cherish property the way liberals cherish equality. But it would be fair to say that the takings clause is the conservatives' recipe for judicial activism just as they say liberals have misused the equal protection clause.
Michael Kinsley, American Journalist (1951-  )
Of course, conservatives always claim to be against judicial activism.
Michael Kinsley, American Journalist (1951-  )
So the danger of conservative judicial activism has been averted for another year. Stay tuned.
Michael Kinsley, American Journalist (1951-  )
My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.
Sally Kirkland, American Actress (1944-  )
Traditionalists will have to master techniques of sustained activism formerly monopolized by the left.
Christopher Lasch, American Historian (1932-1994)
I guess because the shows were activist in their own way - the marriage of my public activism and my career activism, you know - people understand me very well. They also understand there's a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.
Norman Lear, American Producer (1922-  )
It was Dr. King's tireless activism that fostered our modern way of relating to one another.
Wynton Marsalis, American Musician (1961-  )
Shareholder activism is not a privilege - it is a right and a responsibility. When we invest in a company, we own part of that company and we are partly responsible for how that company progresses. If we believe there is something going wrong with the company, then we, as shareholders, must become active and vocal.
Mark Mobius, American Businessman (1936-  )
What drew me to both study and activism was the formative experience of the civil rights movement.
David E. Price, American Politician (1940-  )
The Body Shop Foundation is run by our staff and supports social activism and environmental activism. We don't tend to support big agencies.
Anita Roddick, English Businessman (1942-  )
'Empathy' is the latest code word for liberal activism, for treating the Constitution as malleable clay to be kneaded and molded in whatever form justices want. It represents an expansive view of the judiciary in which courts create policy that couldn't pass the legislative branch or, if it did, would generate voter backlash.
Karl Rove, American Politician (1950-  )
