In common usage, "'''advocacy'''" refers to the political process by an individual or group which aims to influence public-policy and resource allocation decisions. The word "'''activism'''" refers to efforts to promote, impede, or direct social, political, religious, economic, or environmental change. We use the words interchangeably here on [[electowiki]].
