Starting a petition can be a great way to show your colours and take a stand. It’s a good first step in building a network or community to take more direct action on an issue.

There are a ton of sites that you can pay to gather signatures for you. Change.org is often highlighted – but what many don’t know is that they offer free resources for those who want to run their own petitions.
