Advocate groups
Advocate groups, also known as advocacy organizations or interest groups, are organizations dedicated to influencing public policy, laws, or social attitudes related to specific issues. They represent the interests of a particular community, cause, or perspective, aiming to raise awareness, inform the public, and persuade policymakers. These groups often engage in activities like lobbying, public education campaigns, and research to support their goals. Their work helps ensure diverse voices are heard in the decision-making process, shaping policies to reflect shared values, concerns, or needs.
