Kieran Larson · Answer 1

a group engaged in trying to influence legislators or other public officials in favor of a specific cause

Explanation:

Lobbying is the process by which groups attempt to influence governmental decisions. The groups attempt to do this through private contact with members of government, actions that encourage people to contact their representatives, and large demonstrations. The term was used as early as 1820, but it is not clear where it originated.
