One term you might look up is "Engaged Buddhism". This references various actions, initiatives, etc., of applying the tenants of Buddhism to societal and systemic problems in an effort to hit the root causes of suffering. Engaged Buddhism can be approached via many forms of Buddhism (Including Zen).
That said, and as others have pointed out, the core tenants of all forms of Buddhism involve action. The Nobel Eightfold Path specifically has Right (Or appropriate and skillfully applied) methods and includes:
- Right Livelihood
- Right Effort
- and, specifically, Right Action
If you dive into historic sutras and modern approaches to those rungs of the Nobel Eightfold Path, you'll find a lot of good information and good examples of relying on action.
