As noted author and philosopher Ayn Rand pointed out, they compete with one another to seize control of the mechanism of law (government) so as to benefit themselves at the expense of other groups attempting the same thing.
As to the good they do, that will depend on one's beliefs. In no case can they be considered peaceful as they are not attempting to persuade the citizenry, but rather have those citizens compelled to their particular view by governmental force of law.
It may be a case of a law flat out compelling a behavior in us, from refraining from gambling, or always buckling up. Or it may be a case of wishing funding for a pet project of their's that they feel everyone should pay for. It can be as relatively harmless as wishing to be excused from paying a given tax or following a regulation - which as all others still have to, will let them out compete other groups.
They can be corporations looking for profit, or non-profits looking for prestige, or political and/or religious groups looking for both.
