Sign A Petition
What is a petition?
It’s a document signed by people like you that raises awareness for important issues and encourages change from lawmakers.
Why should you sign a petition?
Signing a petition is an accessible way to participate in civic life, show your commitment to the cause, and support change.
Find a petition that aligns with your values.
Look for petitions started by trusted organizations or community leaders. You can find them:
- On the March For Our Lives website or Action Hub
- Through local advocacy groups or partner coalitions
Before signing, read carefully to make sure the petition clearly states the issue, what action it’s demanding, and who it’s directed to.
Add your name and make it count.
When you sign:
- Use accurate contact info (so your signature is valid).
- Double-check that the petition lists the correct target (for example, your state lawmakers if it’s a state issue).
- Share a brief comment if there’s space — personal notes about why you care make your signature more powerful.
Spread the word.
After signing, help grow the impact by sharing the petition:
- Post it on social media or group chats.
- Ask classmates, friends, and family to sign.
- If you’re organizing, print copies to collect signatures at school or community events.
Remind people that every name added increases pressure for action.
