Which social movements and social movement organisations can you think of?

Asked by Bellatrix (21307points) April 6th, 2011

I am trying to compile a list of different social movements (Women’s Rights movement/Civil Rights movement etc.) and social movement organisations (Greenpeace/Get Up etc.) for some research I want to carry out. Any movements and organisations you can think of that are currently active will help me to generate this list.

The Human Rights Campaign, which works for the equal rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.

A couple that might be less well-known: Anti-Racist Action and Food Not Bombs are both organizations that I was involved with as a teen.
