This is an extremely diverse list of people, groups, and movements. Some are peaceful, while some believe that force is necessary. Some are very small, grassroots groups, and some are global non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) that rival for-profit corporations. Many of their beliefs are very different. They all have one thing in common, though: that something, whatever that may be, is not 'right', and they are doing something about it. Some of these organizations are merely historic, and some are operating right now. But we must realize that justice and freedom can be taken back just as easily as they were won.
