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.

By creating comprehensive campaigns that build public awareness of the injustices that need to be addressed, as well as using compelling digital storytelling and visuals to make these stories resonate with viewers and inspire them to take action.

Finally, connecting with like-minded people is key for building collective power, either through organizing local events or engaging online networks. Through taking these steps we have seen success in challenging existing laws and social conventions over the years, ultimately laying down the foundation for longer-term systemic change.
