What is the mobilising story for your cause?

We have to be systematic in writing the story of the issue and build it convincingly, how?

  • Start with a strong and striking first paragraph that briefly raises the issue and determines the negative aspects it causes. Talk about the people who are affected by it, in a way that shows the size of the phenomenon and creates sympathy for them. We recommend choosing the most important influential information, not a lot of it
  • In the second paragraph, affirm the importance of this petition as a step to pressure and solve this problem or aspect of it, and why is it important to do this now
  • With the third paragraph, we explain the demands we're making that would solve the problem, what they are, what they require, what are the potential positive outcomes, and who is the target side of the demand (Who we ask and for what)
  • Make sure to end the text with a call to sign and spread the petition
