When someone thinks of advocacy groups, they may think of a positive image, like the environmental organization Greenpeace. However, advocacy groups can also be destructive, like the Ku Klux Klan. So what is the difference? Advocacy groups are those that work to help achieve a goal. They are not always good or evil, but can be both. Advocacy groups can be helpful in two ways: by organizing or by providing resources.

The first type of advocacy group is the organizer. Organizers are the people who bring together people to try to change something. They do this by talking to people, writing letters, and going to meetings.
