Social movements interact with the political system by advocating for change and influencing policy through sustained activism. These movements, which may focus on issues such as civil rights, labor rights, or environmental justice, often mobilize public support and pressurize political leaders to address their demands. By organizing protests, engaging in lobbying, and utilizing social media, social movements raise awareness and foster public discourse around pressing issues. Their interactions with the political system can lead to significant legislation and societal change, as well as create a more informed and active citizenry that holds policymakers accountable.
