Mother Jones magazine is running a survey to figure out if young people like you think the future of activism lies in personal choices like buying environmentally friendly cleaning products or if activism is something else. Weigh in on their survey here.

Truly,

it's one of the worst surveys I've ever taken. Whoever created it knows dangerously little about today's campus activists.

Agreed, it was lame.

Wow, that survey was kinda lame.
How about activism in the neighborhoods, in the streets? While all of those "consumer activism" choices are good things to do, I would not consider them activism. It's only activism if it has a public/social element and buying organic food does nothing to alter the structures of power in society.
