Petitions

If you’d like to set up your own local petition you can set up an online petition or create a classic paper one. Make sure you have a clear ask, set a deadline for collecting signatures, collect only the information necessary on the petition and importantly don’t forget data protection. The information you collect on a petition may be sensitive and ensuring there is a clear statement regarding how you will use the information. Ask people to distribute your petition, asking local businesses or partners to gather signatures for you. Remember to add a return address. Finally, decide how you want to present the petition to your campaign target. You may choose to present it during a private meeting or make the presentation a public event and invite your local newspaper.
