Describe the group’s main goals and objectives, especially regarding your chosen topic.

1. (Interest group will be NAACP) Identify one interest group actively lobbying the United States government regarding a topic that you care about (choose a group that fits the definition of an interest group – NOT a social movement or political party – some groups are mentioned in the Interest Groups chapter of the textbook, others may be mentioned in news stories about the topic in which you are interested). Describe the group’s main goals and objectives, especially regarding your chosen topic. You may use the group’s official website as a primary source. Remember to cite it properly.
2. Make an evidence-based argument either in support of or in opposition to one or more of the interest group’s objectives regarding your chosen topic. Note that “objectives” are not their overall goals, but the actions they intend to take to achieve their goals. Use and cite at least one solid academic source (do not use information from the interest group itself as a source of evidence) to make your case. I am not looking for an explanation or justification of your opinion or beliefs about the objectives, but an evidence-based argument that engages with statistics, research studies, case studies, expert analysis or the like from cited, solid academic sources. State your position clearly and back it up with evidence.
3. Please make sure to use quoted citations. Citations and sources may be from the following only:
You may choose from any of the peer-reviewed journals on JSTOR. Any one of the journals would count as a single source.
You may choose an academic book (check with me if you are not certain it would count as an academic book). Any one chapter in the book would count as a source. You may use multiple chapters and each chapter would count as a separate source.
You may choose a source of primary data or primary historical information. Any one would count as a single source.
You may choose an academic/university study (often found on .edu websites). Any one of the studies would count as a single source.
