State
A social movement is a purposeful, organized group working toward a common goal, distinguished from less organized collective behavior it grows from.
Show
A group lobbying for a policy change, with recognized leaders and an ongoing campaign, illustrates a movement rather than an unorganized gathering.
Watch for
A social movement is organized and goal-directed; a crowd event does not become a movement without sustained organization.
