Economic activism involves using economic power for change. Both conservative and liberal groups use economic activism to boycott companies and organizations that do not agree with their particular political, religious, or social values. Conversely, it also means purchasing from those companies and organizations that do. The idea behind the concept is two fold. First, you will reinforce good behavior and allow those companies that think like you to succeed. Second, you will punish bad behavior and hope that those companies that do not think like you do will fail or will adopt your correct way of thinking.

Activism, Inc. How the Outsourcing of Grassroots Campaigns Is Strangling Progressive Politics in America is a book by Columbia University sociologist Dana Fisher, based on an ethnographic study of Fund for Public Interest Research canvass offices during the summer of 2003. Fisher argues the corporate fund raising model mistreats idealistic young people by using them as interchangeable parts and providing them with insufficient training Fisher also believes that the outsourcing of grassroots organizing by political groups led to the decay of grassroots infrastructure and opportunities for involvement on the left. Fisher was inspired by her own experience as a canvasser and a 2001 lecture by scholar Harry Boyte . FFPIR has created a website to respond to a few of the criticisms raised by the book http www.canvassingworks.org . The site includes testimony by former Fund staff who have moved into leading roles in other progressive organizations and other progressive leaders, including U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky IL , Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope, Dr. Woody Holton Associate Professor of American history at the University of Richmond , and Randy Hayes of the Rainforest Action Network .

Judicial activism is said to be the overreaching or incorrect interpretation of the law, which are thought by critics to be a misuse of the power of interpretation of the law by a judge or judges for political or personal reasons. Overview Judges in Canada are given the power to interpret law passed down from the legislature, discretionary power to resolve disputes, and the power to use common law and accepted judicial policy to render judgement. By the principle of separation of powers , a strong tradition in Canada and accepted practice, judges should respect the role of the legislature to create law. Judges are also charged to impartially apply the law as it is written. Canada has a Law of Canada legal system that is derived from British system of common law and the French system in the province of Quebec .
