push
[from the operation that puts the current information on a stack, and the fact that procedure return addresses are saved on a stack] (Also PUSH /push/ or PUSHJ /push'J/, the latter based on the PDP-10 procedure call instruction.) 1. To put something onto a stack or PDL. If one says that something has been pushed onto one's stack, it means that the Damoclean list of things hanging over ones's head has grown longer and heavier yet. This may also imply that one will deal with it before other pending items; otherwise one might say that the thing was `added to my queue'. 2. vi. To enter upon a digression, to save the current discussion for later. Antonym of pop; see also stack, PDL.

Push
(1) In client/server applications, to send data to a client without the client requesting it. The World Wide Web is based on a pull technology where the client browser must request a Web page before it is sent. Broadcast media, on the other hand, are push technologies because they send information out regardless of whether anyone is tuned in.
Increasingly, companies are using the Internet to deliver information push-style. One of the most successful examples of this is PointCast, which delivers customized news to users' desktops.
Probably the oldest and most widely used push technology is e-mail. This is a push technology because you receive mail whether you ask for it or not -- that is, the sender pushes the message to the receiver.
(2) In programming, to place a data item onto a stack. The opposite of push is pop, which means to remove an object from a stack.

People United to Save Humanity
People United to Save Humanity (aka PUSH or Operation PUSH) was founded in 1971, through efforts led by the social activist Jesse Jackson and Operation Breadbasket, an organization which served as the economic foundation for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Jackson had previously been selected to lead Operation Breadbasket by Martin Luther King, Jr.. These organizations worked to strengthen the financial and economic stability of African Americans in the late 1970s. PUSH quickly became a leading social justice organization in the United States, and continue to fulfill this role today. Jackson organized the group with Chicagoans of both black and white races. There were routine weekly meetings held at the Hyde Park Headquarters to help motivate the supporters. PUSH has organized consumer boycotts, pressured companies to hire African Americans and other minorities, supported black-owned businesses, and formed strategies reflected in the current civil rights movement.
