Definition
- Engaged resistance is a term coined by a group of citizens, the Motherhood Project. It denotes the attempt to minimize the worst effects of mainstream or dominant culture through acts of individual or familial initiative, such as curtailing the number of hours the television is on or boycotting a particular vendor, combined with acts of civic engagement, such as collectively pressuring advertisers or petitioning corporate CEOs or public officials.
