Successful petition in 6 steps

Start petition

Explain clearly why something needs to be changed and to which decision-maker(s) you are addressing your petition. Use your personal story to illustrate why the issue is important to you and others. Images and videos also help to clarify your cause.

Distribute your petition

The hot phase begins: Spread your initiative via social media channels like Facebook and X as well as via WhatsApp and email. Facebook groups or forums with relevant themes are also particularly helpful. Signatures can also be collected offline and then uploaded to an online petition.

Attention & reach

The more signatures, the greater the political weight of your petition – so keep at it! Plan online actions with your supporters, such as video and image actions, an action on X with a custom hashtag, or offline actions such as a demonstration. Contact decision-makers, your supporters, and even try reaching out to celebrities and influencers – it's worth it!

Dialogue with politics

Contact the decision-maker and request a personal meeting for the handover. If no appointment can be made, contact the decision-maker together with your supporters via X, email or letter. If you have reached the quorum, we will request statements from the deciding parliament on your behalf and publish them on your petition page.

With a high-profile poster and signatures in hand, hand over your petition – take photos and videos and post them on social media.
