Franchise activism
![]() | This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) |
Franchise activism refers to forms of activism carried out by autonomous individuals or groups in different localities under the same name. This name usually describes an idea put into action rather than the mandate of a single organization. Some examples of franchise activism include:
- Critical Mass
- Food Not Bombs
- Homes Not Jails
- Independent Media Center
- Radical cheerleaders
- Reclaim the Streets
- Animal Liberation Front
- Earth Liberation Front
- Copwatch
- Ya Basta Association
Franchise activism should not be confused with social franchising, which takes concepts of commercial franchising and applies them to non-profit or non-governmental organizations that have offices and operations in more than one place.
