public interest advocacy groups

Public interest advocacy groups are organizations that work to promote and defend issues affecting society as a whole, such as environmental protection, human rights, consumer rights, or social justice. They aim to influence public policy, raise awareness, and hold governments and corporations accountable to ensure the broader community's needs and values are considered. These groups often rely on research, advocacy campaigns, legal action, and public education to effect positive change on issues that may not always benefit powerful interests but serve the common good.
