"A collection of people who have organized to influence government action and legislation", it sounds like Lobby, so - depending on the context - the proper translation should be GRUPPI DI POTERE, in my opinion

Example sentences:
Gruppi di persone con interessi simili possono scegliere di coordinarsi formando un’organizzazione che li rappresenti. Noi definiamo tale organizzazione un gruppo di interesse. Da una parte forniscono dei servizi ai loro iscritti: trasmettono delle informazioni, svolgono delle ricerche, mantengono i contatti con altre organizzazioni, il mondo politico e i media. Dall’altra, utilizzano le proprie risorse per influenzare, attraverso diverse forme di pressione, le scelte dei governi a favore di ciò che ritengono più opportuno per la società e, più spesso, per loro stessi.
