A pressure group is an organization that seeks to influence government policies or decisions without seeking to directly control the government or contest elections. Therefore, the major objective of a pressure group is to influence policies of government by using various methods such as lobbying, protests, and campaigns. The ultimate goal of a pressure group is to bring about changes in government policies or decisions that are aligned with the interests of the group's members or supporters. Pressure groups can represent different interests such as business, labor, environmental, and social justice issues.
