Sign a Petition:

However, creating or signing petitions should not be the only method used to affect change. Below are some websites to use to create a petition, or to browse and sign petitions created by others.

“Online petitions can be a very effective way of gathering support for a cause you care about and drawing attention to that cause. Many of our petition hosts have gathered tens and even hundreds of thousands of signatures on their petitions—petition recipients have had to stand up and take notice!
