Grassroots Lobbying
Grassroots lobbying is a type of lobbying in which activists have the objective and goal of influencing policy and attempt to do so through indirectly communicating with policymakers and government officials. This indirect communication is often times through an organization or a person going to the public asking them to contact their local government representative and policymakers about an issue or piece of legislation they are concerned about. Grassroots lobbying can organically come about through social issues or an event within a community that garners attention leading to political discussions (both within the community and on social media ) and in some cases social change and or political change.
