Woke is of American origin, particularly Black American. For a while, "Stay woke", said to a Black person by another Black person after a chat, was often seen as a way to say "Open your eyes/Keep your eyes open/Wake up or stay aware of what's happening/Focus" (can be said about any aspect of social justice concerning Black people).
Then some companies and some people who wanted to be part of the social justice movement about Black people also started using the term to show they've also woken up/are staying woke about those issues.
Then came the complaints from people who thought political correctness had gone mad because companies and some people were doing things to show they're allies to Black people and their concerns. Often, things they didn't think should be done for various reasons.
Then it became a pejorative to call those people "woke" or the "woke brigade" - complete with eye roll - as they were seen to be falling over themselves to show they're on the side of the latest social justice movement. (This is also how "virtue signalling" came about).
Then, other people co-opted the term "Woke" to also show how they've woken up to their own injustice.
Then, even more people became part of the "woke brigade" and it's often said about those who are seen as extremists or unreasonable in their cause.
