1 A social movement is an organized group that acts consciously to promote or resist change through collective action (Goldberg, 1991). 2  Because social movements have not become institutionalized and are outside the political mainstream, they offer outsiders an opportunity to have their voices heard.
An interest group is any organization that seeks to influence public policy. Interest groups are found in many societies, but there is an unusually large number of them in the United States.
