Urban areas across a state have experienced an increase in police-brutality incidents. This has particularly impacted marginalized groups. As a result, people want to hold the police department accountable and remove officers who treat residents unfairly.Who would be most likely to establish and organize a social movement to address this issue?
Answer
A
the US president, who needs to respond to public pressure
B
an activist who belongs to one of the affected communities
C
a lobbyist who works to influence government officials
D
the governor, who wants to encourage public engagement
Explanation
Social movements are usually established and organized by people who are directly affected by an issue or who advocate for those communities. An activist from one of the affected communities is most likely to bring people together to demand accountability and fair treatment. The president, governor, and lobbyist may influence policy, but they are less likely to organize this community-led movement.
