Do I use a Capital M ?

Hi,

Just about to submit an assignment but need to check whether it is appropriate to use a capital M or not for one word.

In reference to a women's group called 'Save Our Sons movement', should the word movement begin with a capital?

I've had a mental blank but am leaning towards not capitalizing it.

Any feedback appreciated!

If you are referring to it within the text, don't capitalize, because it is not part of their name:

"…has given the Save Our Sons movement a donation of…"

If you had it as a title or heading:

The SAVE OUR SONS Movement : an Evaluation of Its Cultural Significance
