Market-based Activism

Market-Based Activism is a form of political engagement in which individuals or collective actors exert influence on corporate behavior and public policy by strategically using their consumer power, such as through boycotts, buycotts, or ethical purchasing, thereby distinguishing it from non-market forms of activism by its reliance on economic transactions as a primary mechanism for social or political change.
