It's called Engaged Buddhism, I thought there was one organisation named this but a quick google shows there are lots, but yes Christianity places more emphasis on this sort of thing than other religions. It's a bit off-topic but in terms of its critical engagement and commitment to social justice, Engaged Buddhism is a long, long way off liberation theology, or even mainstream Catholic social teaching, which has an explicit "preferential option for the poor". I think Engaged Buddhism is great as far as it goes. It just doesn't go very far.
