social justice movements
Collective equity struggles
Social justice movements are organized efforts to address systemic inequalities and advocate for marginalized groups.
They typically focus on issues like civil rights, economic fairness, gender equality, or environmental justice.
The term encompasses both historical campaigns the civil rights movement and contemporary activism Black Lives Matter began as a social justice movement.
Critics sometimes use the phrase dismissively to characterize activism they view as excessive.
