A brief overview of your interest group (be sure to put its name in bold in the first sentence) and the scope of the article goes here.[1]
The following list of sections should serve as a loose guideline for developing the body of your article. The works cited in references 2-5 are all fake; their purpose is to serve as a formatting model for your own citations.
History
This section should describe the interest group's founding and development. It would probably be a good idea to divide it into chronological subsections, for example:
Founding of Greenpeace
In 1970, the '''Dont Make A Wave Committee''' was established; its sole objective was to stop a second nuclear weapons test at Amchitka Island in the Aleutians. The Committee founders were Dorothy and Irving Stowe, Marie and Jim Bohlen, Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe, and Bob Hunter. Its first directors were Stowe, Bolen, and a student named Paul Cote.
Current objectives and activities
This section should discuss the group's current initiatives and tactics for influencing political outcomes (which may or may not be very different from its original goals and modus operandi).[2]
Organizational structure
This section should describe the group's organizational structure, including its principal leadership positions and their current incumbents.[3]
Achievements
This section should recount the group's major achievements, including but not limited to legislative and/or legal victories.[4]
Public perception and controversies
In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a neutral stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled without weighing in with your own opinion about them.
