If you’re trying to prevent the passing of a certain law, you can try leveraging public opinion by running an influence campaign on social media or through other digital means. You can do this by encouraging people to contact their legislators and express their opinions against the proposed law. Additionally, if there is strong popular sentiment against the law then you can use grassroots organizing techniques to bring people together in protest in order to create an impression of widespread disapproval. Finally, if possible you may be able to mobilize key stakeholders who will be directly affected by the law such as business owners or interest groups who oppose it.

One way to oppose the passage of a certain law is to gain attention from the public and try to create a social movement around it. You can utilize online means like petitions or even offline such as organizing rallies and getting the affected people to come together so that it appears that there is an outcry against this law. You should aim to reach out widely so you show that most people do not agree with this law in order to influence legislators against passing this bill or getting public support for other policy options.
