A specific statement, which tells people precisely what you would like them to support.

You are asking people to agree with this text and to sign it. Make sure to express your point of view in clear language (what you are against/for, what should be done and why).

Enter the full name of the author, or the official name of a registered organisation. Signatures may not be collected anonymously. Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), signatories have the right to know who is processing their personal data.

United States    [Edit]




We ask for consent from the signatories on the signature form for the following purposes:
Please provide the decision-makers in the fields below, or simply leave the fields empty if you don’t wish to specify them. We recommend entering only their positions, such as Secretary-General of the United Nations. This ensures that your consent to hand over the signatures remains valid even if the person in that role changes. If you include names, please also mention their positions, as not everyone will know their roles based on names alone.

Note: If you leave the fields empty, our system will automatically ask for consent from signatories with the following broad question: I authorise [[[Petition author]]] to hand over the information I provide on this form to the decision makers..

How do you want to use the names, emails, or other personal data that signatories provide?

Good examples

Bad Examples

These are petition goals. It does not make sense to ask consent for them.

  • Save the old school building
  • Reach 100 000 signatures
  • Bring awareness to this issue.
  • Help us to reach our goal
