Create a petition by filling in the form below
Collect signatures
- Share the petition on your Facebook wall and in groups related to the topic of your petition. Open the petition page and click the Facebook button to share the petition on Facebook.
- Contact your friends
  1. Write a message where you explain why you have started the petition, since people are more likely to sign it if they understand how important the topic is.
  2. Copy and paste the web address of the petition into your message.
  3. Send the message using email, SMS, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Skype, Instagram and LinkedIn.
- Contact the media. This step requires that there are enough signatures on your petition.
Create an active community around your petition
It's common for people to sign a petition and then forget it. Don't let this happen with your petition. Creating change is not a one-man or one-woman show. Try to get people involved.
- Publish announcements regularly to keep the signatories of your petition up to date on what has happened since you started the petition, and what will happen next. The signatories will be notified by email when you publish a new announcement.
- Create a group on Facebook for the signatories to discuss the petition. Encourage people to participate by asking their opinions and ideas.

Purposes for processing the personal data of the signatories

We ask for consent from the signatories on the signature form for the following purposes:

To publicly display the signatory's name, city, country, and comment online on the signatures page.

To hand over the information provided by the signatory to the decision-makers.

Please provide the decision-makers in the fields below, or simply leave the fields empty if you don’t wish to specify them. We recommend entering only their positions, such as Secretary-General of the United Nations. This ensures that your consent to hand over the signatures remains valid even if the person in that role changes. If you include names, please also mention their positions, as not everyone will know their roles based on names alone.

Note: If you leave the fields empty, our system will automatically ask for consent from signatories with the following broad question: I authorize [[[Petition author]]] to hand over the information I provide on this form to the decision makers..
