There are endless "other" options. NEVER trust any organization to protect or defend your individual rights. That never works, and it is generally a scam, just as has become utterly apparent with the NRA. Lobby groups have always been on the Scumbag spectrum somewhere between "sullied" and "completely mafioso-style criminal."

This.
The priority of any organization is to serve the interests of the organization. Why anyone, anywhere, ever believed otherwise is beyond me, and the fact that anyone ever did is a testament to the gullibility of the human mind. I submit that it is good practice to question and be skeptical of those who spew things we tend to agree with even more than those who spew things we tend to disagree with.
YMMV
