Interest Groups and Social Movements.

Both the article and the lecture state the few ways that an interest group can be successful and benefit the whole of the group . 

"Demonstrations and boycotts can be another way of influencing policy. This tactic is probably most famous for being used during the early civil movements like the Montgomery Bus Boycott organized by Martin Luther King Jr . Litigation is another tactic used by the civil rights movement as in Brown v. Board of Ed. To litigate means to bring your issue to court in the form of a lawsuit. An important political battle is being fought over the limits in damages corporations have to pay in lawsuits  " 


This statement reflects the idea in the article about smaller groups being more successful over larger organizations. 


I chose this statement in light of what's been happening today with police violence against African Americans today , you see many people want and demanding a change but they aren't effectively influencing policy in their area or country with the interests that they are demanding. Boycotting  when theses things happen can prove to be very successful and so can litigation . I would rather these things than destroying the communities in which they live .
