Lib·er·ty

/ˈlɪbəti/
/ˈlɪbərti/
  1. an independent organization formed in 1934 to protect the legal rights of British citizens and to argue for greater freedom and equality under the existing law.

    Culture pressure groupspressure groupsPressure groups work for the benefit of a particular section of society, for example children or nurses, or for a particular issue or cause. Groups that work for a section of society are sometimes called interest groups. Those that work for a particular cause are known as promotional groups or simply pressure groups. These pressure groups operate in a similar way in Britain and in the US.There are several types of interest groups. Trade unions and labor unions represent workers in industry and are mostly concerned with their wages and health, safety, etc. Professional bodies such as the BMA (British Medical Association) are similar to trade unions and the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) represents the interests of employers. In Britain several watchdogs have been established by Act of Parliament to monitor certain industries, for example, Ofgem, which watches the gas and electricity industries for the benefit of users. Many promotional groups are linked to charities. Since charities are not allowed to take part in party political activity, many set up a related organization to act as a pressure group. In the US many pressure groups form political action committees which are allowed to give money to political campaigns. Well-known promotional groups include Friends of the Earth and Amnesty International. There are also many smaller groups, usually less permanent, which are formed to protest about local issues.Pressure groups aim to influence the government to the benefit of their members or the cause they support. They may draw attention to problems by asking people to sign a petition (= a formal request signed by many people), often online, by giving media interviews, or by organizing demonstrations that will attract public and media attention. Many groups try to get the support of well-known people such as pop stars. They also try to persuade politicians to support their cause and to speak about it in Parliament or Congress, a practice known as lobbying. Government departments may talk to pressure groups when changes to the law are being considered. There are some groups that are ready to break the law in order to achieve their aims.
    一个成立于 1934 年的独立组织,旨在保护英国公民的合法权利,并在现行法律下争取更大的自由和平等。它开展了捍卫妇女、LGBT 人群和监狱人员权利的运动。 Liberty 也被称为国家公民自由委员会,直到 1989 年才正式使用该名称。 文化压力团体 压力团体 压力团体为社会特定阶层(例如儿童或护士)的利益,或为特定问题或事业而工作。为社会的一部分工作的团体有时被称为利益团体。那些为特定事业而工作的团体被称为宣传团体或简称为压力团体。这些压力集团在英国和美国的运作方式类似。利益集团有多种类型。工会和工会代表工业工人,最关心他们的工资和健康、安全等。专业团体如BMA(英国医学会)与工会类似,CBI(英国工业联合会)代表工业界。雇主的利益。在英国,议会法案设立了多个监管机构来监管某些行业,例如,天然气和电力市场办公室 (Ofgem),该机构为了用户的利益而监管天然气和电力行业。许多促销团体都与慈善机构有联系。由于慈善机构不允许参与政党政治活动,许多慈善机构成立了相关组织作为压力团体。在美国,许多压力团体组建了政治行动委员会,这些委员会被允许为政治竞选活动提供资金。著名的宣传团体包括地球之友和国际特赦组织。还有许多较小的团体,通常不太持久,是为了抗议当地问题而成立的。压力团体旨在影响政府,以使其成员或他们支持的事业受益。他们可能会通过要求人们签署请愿书(=由多人签署的正式请求)来引起人们对问题的关注,通常是在网上,接受媒体采访,或者组织吸引公众和媒体关注的示威活动。许多团体试图获得流行歌星等名人的支持。他们还试图说服政客支持他们的事业并在议会或国会中谈论这一事业,这种做法被称为游说。在考虑修改法律时,政府部门可能会与压力团体进行交谈。有些团体为了达到他们的目的而准备违法。
  2. (also Liberty's)
