aksi massa

Definition from http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_ind:
Berdasarkan analisis dari pengertian bahasa inggris di laman ini, bahwa aksi massa (grassroots movement) merupakan gerakan spontan secara massal.

Example sentence(s):

Tak hanya sidang kasus Munir yang akan diwarnai aksi unjuk rasa. Hari ini, sidang gugatan Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa di Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara pun akan diramaikan aksi massa. - Newspaper

Explanation:
Dari berita yang ada, dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa sesuai dengan definisi wikipedia di atas, kelihatan bahwa aksi massa sarat dengan kepentingan politik atau kepentingan pihak tertentu dalam masyarakat. Ada gambaran spontanitas karena pemimpin politiknya atau panutannya diadili sehingga ada reaksi balik berupa aksi massa.
