petitions
A petition is a formal request made to an authority or organization, typically involving a collective appeal from a group of people. Petitions are used to express concerns, advocate for change, or call for action on specific issues, such as environmental protection, human rights, or government policies. They often gather signatures to demonstrate widespread support for the cause. Petitions can be submitted to local governments, legislative bodies, or even large organizations, aiming to persuade decision-makers to consider the requests and take appropriate actions.
