Consumer activism is activism undertaken on behalf of consumers, to assert consumer rights. ==Objectives and tactics== Goals include making goods and services available to consumers safer, better quality, environmentally friendly, and more readily available. The activists and consumers in the movement hope to provide security and healthy standards for employed consumers. The state should protect against profiteers, disease, unemployment, and market fluctuations.〔Kozinets, V Robert & Handelman:"Adversaries of Consumption: Consumer Movements, Activism, and Ideology", pg 691. ''Journal of Consumer Research, Inc.'' Vol 31. 2004.〕 Consumer movements challenge social order and transform it through the propagation of ideologies of consumption in hopes of dramatically changing mainstream views.〔 The ideal goal is to push consumers to question the morality of a purchased product's origins. Consumer activist tactics can include boycotts, petitioning the government, media activism, and organizing interest groups.〔Weinraub, Bernard (July 1, 1970). Consumer Activism Up in Poor Nations.
