I think it's a fairly widespread term referencing card carrying members of whatever party. I think I heard the term Republican grassroots bandied by UK correspondents covering the Trump/Biden contest. It's also used to refer to supporters.
My experience of the one constituency meeting I got to before Covid was that grassroots members covered a gamut of opinions from Corbynites to folks like myself of a strand closer to term one Blair.
