One way to create online campaigns or petitions that challenge existing laws or social conventions is to start with targeted outreach. This can involve carefully selecting influencers to endorse the campaign and engaging key members of affected communities. Creating a powerful narrative that articulates the issues at stake, and emphasizes how the new law or social convention will lead to greater justice or equality, is also important for generating support. Additionally, utilizing strategies such as reverse psychology – highlighting how current laws actually create problems – can be useful in highlighting underlying contradictions that motivate people into action. Finally, utilizing persuasive design techniques which make it easier for people to sign petitions and spread the message far and wide is key in building momentum towards meaningful long term systemic change.
