“Do petitions need a certain amount of signatures to succeed? What you can do to boost support for your petition The right to petition is a fundamental pillar of democracy. Citizens don’t have to sit by while their concerns go unknown or ignored by the officials in power. They can use petitions to raise problems and call on the government and other leaders to address them. But, whether you’re the person starting a petition or signing it, you might wonder what value and impact it really has. Can a petition actually do anything? Can it make a difference? Can it convince the people with authority to take action and create positive change? We can definitively say: yes, it can. Over 115,000 petitions on Change.org alone have achieved victory , and many more have created awareness about different issues — which is a win on its own. Change.org petitions have earned nearly 600 million signatures so far from people in almost 200 different countries around the world.” • Do online petitions work and how many signatures do you need? · Change.org

Freeing Virgilio Aguilar Mendez : Over 600,000 people signed a petition calling for the release of Virgilio Aguilar Mendez , a Guatemalan man wrongly convicted due to a flawed legal process.
