Advocacy groups (like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Migration Policy Institute)

Advocacy groups are organizations that work to promote and protect certain rights or causes. For example, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) focuses on defending individual rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech and equal protection under the law. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) studies migration and offers policy recommendations to improve how governments address immigration issues. These groups aim to influence public policy, raise awareness about social issues, and support individuals affected by these issues through research, legal advocacy, and public education. Their work contributes to shaping a more informed and just society.
