Note
A regular plural, made by adding -s, and always a noun. Activist can also work as an adjective (an activist stance), but that use never takes the -s, so it is activist groups, not activists groups. The plural carries both meanings of the singular: people campaigning for political or social change, and, less often, people conspicuously energetic in their own profession.
