Petition:
There are many free petition sites but MoveOn is nonprofitand they will help promote successful petitions for progressive causes with
access to their large database of email addresses.
Incorporate understanding of goals and targets clearly in
the petition. The campaign goals or demands of the petition are your thesis
statement. Provide concise evidence and reasons for your demands. It’s
important to keep it concise, but you may include your vision and campaign
strategy. You may choose a different target than the target of the direct
action, as a complementary strategy. Examine your power structure analysis to
decide if there may be another target. Also use the Points of Intervention
Worksheet to think about possible targets and audiences for your petition.
