Wikipedia defines Engaged Buddhism as "seeking ways to apply the insights from meditation practice and dharma teachings to situations of social, political, environmental and economic suffering and injustice."
"Prominent figures in the movement include Robert Aitken Roshi, Joanna Macy, Gary Snyder, Alan Senauke, Sulak Sivaraksa, Daisaku Ikeda, Maha Ghosananda, Sylvia Wetzel, Joan Halifax, Tara Brach, Taigen Dan Leighton, Ken Jones, Jan Willis. Bhante Sujato and Bhikkhu Bodhi."
I would also add a recent article I saw about a nun confronting misogyny in Buddhism in Myanmar.
Hopefully I can add more resources as I go along.
