Political movements are organized efforts by groups of people to promote or resist change in society, often focusing on issues like civil rights, environmental protection, or social justice. These movements can take various forms, including protests, advocacy campaigns, and grassroots organizing, and they aim to influence public policy or societal norms. Throughout history, many political movements have emerged, such as the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, which sought to end racial discrimination, and the Women’s Suffrage Movement, which fought for women's right to vote. These movements often rely on collective action and can lead to significant changes in laws and public attitudes.
