Direct action is strategic political activity that is designed to draw attention to or change political and cultural relationships by bypassing extant political institutions and processes. Direct action uses physical and virtual means that are outside of existing political institutions; it is often used by groups that are prohibited from or have limited access to legal or full participation in institutionalized political activities. Examples of direct action include vigils, blockades, wildcat strikes, demonstrations, the occupation of buildings and other spaces, and the destruction of property
