Pressure groups are  a way to bring about change on issues. They campaign on issues they feel strongly about. There are single cause and multicause groups and protective and promotional groups.

Pressure groups use a number of methods to protest such as: illegal or direct activity, riots, letter writing, promotional posters, marches, petitions, articles, tv coverage, publicity stunts, social media, adverts and boycots/strikes.

Their main method of protesting is letter writing, they got hundred of people writing letters to governments etc. 

Benefits of letter writing:

  • Formal which gives them added importance

  • can show support to family and this helps them and shows them they are not alone
  • if there are many puts people under pressure to answer them
