"Direct Action," says Wikipedia, "can include such activities as strikes, boycotts, workplace occupations, sit-ins, intimidation, revolutionary/guerrilla warfare, or sabotage, and less oppositional methods such as establishing radical social centres, which are often squatted. Direct actions are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience, and are sometimes illegal." Listen to what a couple of GeneratingMomentum 2006 students learned about "direct action".
