Content: Make a petition. There are a number of ways to do this, whether online or door-to-door. Find petitions already in place, whether in your area or nationally, and sign them. For example, my campus put a petition forth to make the University of Michigan a sanctuary campus. These petitions can be as simple as through Google forms to present to the people in charge. Or, use sites such as www.change.org, www.petitions.moveon.org, or petition the White House directly through petitions.whitehouse.gov. If you get 100,000 signatures in 30 days, you’ll get an update from the White House. 9. Pay attention to local and national struggles. Likely, there will be spaces already in place for you to find and volunteer with!
