petition campaigns
Organized signature collections
Petition campaigns are organized efforts to collect signatures in support of a cause, policy change, or candidate.
They aim to demonstrate public backing and pressure decision-makers—whether governments, corporations, or institutions.
Traditional campaigns involve paper petitions; modern ones often use online platforms: The petition campaign gathered half a million signatures in a week.
