grassroots porte sur consumer, comme dans "grassroots consumer organization", organisation de défense des consommateurs

A noter que consommateur "de base/lambda" est connoté négativement en français. J'irais jusqu'à ne pas traduire "grassroots" dans ce cas-ci => défense des droits des consommateurs
