Hacktivist is somebody who engages in hacktivism, which is the fusion of hacking and activism; a merger in which technically proficient hackers engage in electronic direct action in order to bring pressure on institutions engaged in unethical or criminal actions, particularly in relation to the Internet and computer technology.

macktivist 

A pseudo-activist who participates in marches and other activities so that he may have access to cute girls who believe in saving the planet. A compounding of "to mack" and "activist." For obvious reasons, this noun has no feminine iteration.
Look at those boys with the "Peace Now" sign -- they ain't nothing but macktivists.

From what I hear, the treasurer of the campus Green Party is a total macktivist.

lactivist 

"A lactivist is a lactation activist: someone who considers him/herself an advocate for breastfeeding, whether or not s/he's nursed. Lactivism comes in many forms: choosing to breastfeed, choosing to breastfeed for an extended period of time, choosing to breastfeed in public, choosing to smile at a breastfeeding woman, encouraging other women to breastfeed, educating the public on the benefits of breastfeeding, lobbying for pro-breastfeeding legislation, etc. Maybe you're already a lactivist, and didn't know it."

from A Call to Arms and Breasts by Stacey Greenberg
She and her friend are both lactivists.

"Breastmilk is best for all babies" said Susie, a lactivist from Central City.
