English term or phrase: advocacy group
as in a group advocating for civil rights. I've come up with defensa, apoyo, and presion but none of them seem quite right. It seems to me that the English encompasses all three of these. Thoughts? Other suggestions? Thanks.

grupo pro defensa de los derechos cíviles


Explanation:
El activismo, en general, es en pro o en contra de algo, por eso prefiero la traducción "en pro de los derechos civiles".

"Agrupaciones" better than "grupos" if you ask me.

Explanation:
En español creo que no podemos decir lo que mencionas en dos palabras. Sugiero lo siguiente, aunque sea largo:
Agrupación (o grupo o conjunto)de personas interesadas en distintos temas sociales y que abogan por los derechos de homosexuales, la conservación del medio ambiente, y que protestan por la ayuda militar a Colombia, etc.
Ojalá te sirva.
