French term or phrase: capital militant
Ces précisions posées, qui invitent à ne pas délaisser les structures sociales au profit des simples interactions ou des trajectoires individuelles, il s’agira tout particulièrement de s’intéresser ici aux apprentissages conférés par le militantisme, aux compétences importées de l’extérieur, ainsi qu’à celles qui sont « apprises sur le tas», à ce que l’on a choisi d’appeler, au moins provisoirement, capital militant. Un capital militant qui s’acquiert donc, et pour une bonne part dans le champ politique, qui s’y valorise, mais aussi qui se reconvertit ailleurs, en cas d’exit.

Please DON'T answer "militant capital", this is clearly NOT the translation in English. Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I feel that "activism" is less aggressive/confrontational/potentially violent in its connotations than the term "militancy". Both terms,obviously, concern actions to effect social/political/environmental etc. change.
