Your voice. A shared cause.

Signing takes a name and an email.

If you are at least 18, find a petition you support and enter your full name and email. Organization representatives also provide their organization, role, and authority declaration. Most petitions send a confirmation link so you can verify your support. Protect Our Digital Democracy currently counts your validated submission immediately and does not send a confirmation email. You don’t need an account.

Each petition page explains whether email confirmation is required. Email confirmation verifies access to an inbox, not a person’s identity. Each email can sign a petition once. Public signer lists show counted signatures only, with an abbreviated name if you opt in, or “Anonymous.”

Starting a petition

Explain the issue, name who can make the change, and list specific actions. Confirm your email and the BetterGov team will review your petition before publication. Read our community guidelines before submitting.

What happens when a petition reaches its goal?

The goal is a milestone for community support. A petition can continue collecting signatures until it is closed. Reaching a goal does not automatically trigger government action or guarantee a response. Government submission lists include only signer and organization names with explicit permission for the named decision-makers. Your email and other signing details are excluded.

Didn’t receive a required confirmation email?

Check your spam folder. For petitions that require confirmation, use the resend option on the confirmation notice or sign again with the same email to request a fresh link. Links expire after 24 hours. Your signature will never count twice.

Who runs this?
