NaBloPoMo: Make ...a Petition?


Clip art image

Yesterday's post was a bit traumatic probably for most of you, myself included!

If you read it, you will perhaps notice my unanswered question of "What will it take to make a change...for girls? Not to mention for females in general.

One way to make a change is the making and/or signing of petitions that speak against such human atrocities.

There are a number of petitions that I sign from time to time to support such causes. I think of it this way: if I were in the victim's shoes, I would want people to speak up and support in fighting for my rights.

One such organization is change.org. There is also perhaps the more well-known Amnesty International organization.

I confess, since I've become more actively involved in blogging, I haven't signed petitions much lately. Nor have I yet made a petition; however, I don't think it's hard and well worth the effort.

And by the way, you can choose to opt in in signing as many petitions as you wish or only one a per-case basis.

What would you consider making and signing a petition for?

    1. Thanks Nisha and for sure, each signature is important and adds up. And though I don't think I mentioned it in my post yesterday, prayers is certainly what I had thought/intended/meant for helping with such causes. Thanks for YOUR reminder! ;) <3
