Activism

Activism in case of Kashmir house will consist of efforts to promote, , intervene in social, political, economic or environmental issues which are determintal in case of Indian occupied Kashmir , with the desire to make changes in society toward a perceived greater good. Forms of activism range from mandate building in a community (including writing letters to newspapers), petitioning elected officials, running or contributing to a political campaign, preferential patronage (or boycott) of businesses, and demonstrative forms of activism like rallies, street marches, strikes, sit-ins, or hunger strikes.

Activism may be performed on a day-to-day basis in a wide variety of ways, including through the creation of art (artivism), computer-based activism, or simply in how one chooses to spend their money (economic activism).

We will also indulge in collective action, in which numerous individuals coordinate an act of protest together in order to make a bigger impact.[1] Collective action that is purposeful, organized and sustained over a period of time
