Step 1: Write your petition title

This is the first thing people will see about your petition. Get their attention with a short title that focusses on the change you’d like them to support.

Notes:

Keep it short and direct to the point

Example: "Buy organic chickens for your restaurants"

Not: "Stop the inhumane treatment of chickens in battery farms that are force-fed..."

Focus on the solution

Example: "Raise the minimum wage in Ha Long to VND 5 million per month"

Not: "Stop applying income inequality in Ha Long"

Communicate urgency

Example: "Approve life-saving medication for Thu Cuc my daughter's insurance before it’s too late"

Step 2: Choose a decision maker

This is the person, organization, or group that can make a decision about your petition.

Notes:

Choose someone who can give you what you want

You might need to do some research to find the right person who can make or influence the decision.

Don't go straight to the top

You might see faster results if you choose a more junior person who is petitioned less often than more recognisable people.

Choose someone you can work with

Your petition is most likely to win by reaching an agreement with your decision maker.

Step 3: Explain the problem you want to solve in the petition

People are more likely to support your petition if it's clear why you care. Explain how this change will impact you, your family, or your community.
