Please elaborate "direct action". What does that mean?

Costing relevant people money, basically. Strikes, sabotage, obstructions, that sort of thing

I love this idea, but how would this be mass organized without having the leaders of this movement almost immediately placed into prison?

There's legal direct action (striking for example). As for the illegal stuff I have no idea, but it happens. Just Stop Oil made it three years before disbanding, and there are plenty of direct action-focused groups lying around.
