Direct action (DA), in the context of special operations, is defined by the US Department of Defense as follows: "Short-duration strikes and other small-scale offensive actions conducted as a special operation in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments and which employ specialized military capabilities to seize, destroy, capture, exploit, recover, or damage designated targets.
 Direct action differs from conventional offensive actions in the level of physical and political risk, operational techniques, and the degree of discriminate and precise use of force to achieve specific objectives."
The Women's Action Coalition (WAC) was a feminist open-alliance that sought to address issues of women's rights through direct action.
 WAC was founded in New York City in 1992 and inspired the formation of subsequent chapters in various other US cities as well as in Canada and Europe.
 Inspired by the Aids Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) and Women's Health Action and Mobilization (WHAM), WAC conducted protests, sit-ins, and educational campaigns and viewed civil disobedience as a mode of direct action.

The Direct Action Committee (DAC) against nuclear war was a pacifist organization formed "to assist the conducting of non-violent direct action to obtain the total renunciation of nuclear war and its weapons by Britain and all other countries as a first step in disarmament".
 It existed from 1957 to 1961.

Add The Words, Idaho is an LGBT activist group and political action committee (PAC) in the United States, extant since 2010, which advocates adding the words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the state's human rights act; this group grew out of several others which had been advocating the same.
 After eight years, however, such a proposed bill had never even been allowed to be filed by the Republican-majority legislature for a hearing, whereupon an associated all-volunteer direct action group, "Add The 4 Words Idaho", under the leadership of former state senator Nicole LeFavour, undertook a series of civil disobedience protests beginning on February 3, 2014 at the Statehouse.
 (The PAC and the direct action group are commonly conflated as "Add The Words".
 This article covers the series of peaceful direct actions/protests, the associated peaceful demonstrations, and the resultant printing and hearing of HB 002, which ultimately died in committee.)
Direct action occurs when a group takes an action which is intended to reveal an existing problem, highlight an alternative, or demonstrate a possible solution to a social issue.
 This can include nonviolent and less often violent activities which target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the direct action participants.
 Examples of nonviolent direct action (also known as nonviolence, nonviolent resistance, or civil resistance) can include sit-ins, strikes, workplace occupations, blockades, or hacktivism, while violent direct action may include political violence or assaults. Tactics such as sabotage and property destruction are sometimes considered violent.
 By contrast, electoral politics, diplomacy, negotiation, and arbitration are not usually described as direct action, as they are politically mediated.
 Non-violent actions are sometimes a form of civil disobedience, and may involve a degree of intentional law-breaking where persons place themselves in arrestable situations in order to make a political statement but other actions (such as strikes) may not violate criminal law.
Hugh Brock (1914 - 1985) was a lifelong British pacifist, editor of "Peace News" between 1955 and 1964, a promoter of nonviolent direct action and a founder of the Direct Action Committee, a forerunner of the Committee of 100.
Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is an international grassroots network of animal rights activists founded in 2013 in the San Francisco Bay Area.
 DxE activists use non-violent direct action tactics to further their cause, such as open rescue of animals from farms and other facilities, disruptive protests, and community building.
 Their intent is to build a movement that can eventually shift culture and change social and political institutions.
 DxE activists work for "total animal liberation" and the creation of a law requiring "species equality."
