petitioning
Making formal requests
Petitioning is the act of making a formal request, typically to an authority or institution.
Citizens petition governments for policy changes, employees petition employers for better conditions, and advocates petition courts for legal relief.
The word implies organized, deliberate appeal rather than casual asking: They've been petitioning the city council for months.
