Hey, John!

It's Valeria from the MoveOn team! As a MoveOn member, you have signed a
couple of petitions, if not more, and you know how good it feels to bring
about change in your community. [ [link removed] ]As you know, petitions are one of the
most powerful tools we have to demonstrate our collective power, and
you're just the person we need to kickstart the next big movement!

"Let’s start a petition!" "Will you sign this petition?" You've probably
read these phrases from our team more times than you can count. But did
you know petitions have been a cornerstone of democratic action for
centuries? From ancient Egyptian workers demanding better conditions to
the early Americans shaping policy, petitions have been a way for people
to band together and demand change throughout time.^1

[ [link removed] ]Petitions have proven again and again that they are a powerful tool for
shaping our world. Start a petition and be part of history!

When you start a petition, you're creating a documented record of
collective will that decision-makers can't ignore. And guess what? It
works! For example Aaron in California successfully advocated for
extending hotel vouchers for San Diego flood victims. And UFCW Local 152
workers in New Jersey who won their fight for a just union contract. These
victories started with someone just like you, deciding to take action.

The beauty of online petitions is their ability to reach and mobilize
people quickly. After an online petition gains traction, a few things can
happen. It might be delivered to the target audience, like a government
official or a company, drawing direct attention to the issue. Media
attention often follows, amplifying the cause even further. And in some
cases, these petitions have even led to changes in policy or legislation.
That's the power of collective voices coming together!

The power of online petitions is without measures. You can raise awareness
and shine a spotlight on an issue, rallying people to your cause and
pushing it onto the agenda. [ [link removed] ]With MoveOn's free petition platform, you
can share your petition on social media, email it to your friends, and
with a click of a link it can be discovered far and wide.

You can build community, by creating a network of individuals passionate
about the same issue. This community can share information, organize
events, and take collective action. Our petition platform allows you to
email everyone who signed your petition and let them know about all the
different ways they can continue to take action. You can invite them to
protests and rallies or even send them calls to action like writing a
letter or contacting elected officials about your cause. There are
numerous instances where petitions have led to tangible changes in policy
or legislation. [ [link removed] ]Make your petition the next success story. Start a

Once your petition gains traction, it doesn't stop there. You'll deliver
it to the intended recipients, whether it's local government, a
corporation, or another organization. This step is crucial in ensuring
that the voices of the people are heard. [ [link removed] ]Starting a petition on
MoveOn's free petition platform makes that step simple and with just a few
clicks!

Sometimes, these petitions garner significant media coverage, leading to
interviews, articles, and broader public discussion. This not only helps
people know about your petition but also raises awareness and allows
people to rally behind your cause. And yes, MoveOn's platform team can
help you get connected with the right people to make real change!
