Tools For Change

Care2 has the best petition system I’ve seen anywhere at the Petition Site.

Here’s their idea list regarding how to furthur promote petitions…

Promote the petitions you support

• Send emails to your friends asking them to sign the petition. You can do
  this quickly and easily with the Email this Petition link in the
  top-right corner of each petition’s page.
• Post links on relevant discussion boards and blogs. This is often an
  excellent way to quickly reach lots of interested people.
• Send out a press release about the petition. This is particularly effective
  once you’ve collected a number of signatures.
• Talk about the petition in online chat rooms.
• Add a link to the petition in your email signature.
• Add a link to the petition in your online newsletters.
• Contact writers and journalists who write about the topic and tell them
  about the petition.
• Add links to the petition on your web site.
• Ask interest groups with large audiences to add a link on their website or
  in their newsletters.
• Submit it to search engines (usually takes 3-4 weeks to be indexed).
• Subscribe petition signers to your newsletters (for pricing, please contact
  the PetitionSite.com team through our contact form;
  select "Opt-in Newsletters" under "Check your interests").

Go beyond the petition

• Contact leading interest groups working on issues similar to your petition.
  Ask them how you can help them.
• Organize school, neighborhood or other groups to brainstorm ideas and take
  action.
• Make a donation to a group working on the cause.
• Be a model citizen and "walk the walk!" As Mahatma Gandhi said so well, "You
  must be the change you wish to see in the world."
