Petitions
You're sitting kilometers away from a forest that is being cut down or from an upcoming road which will destroy livelihoods. You want to do something, help somehow, but you just don't know how. It's frustrating, trust us, we know.
One of the ways in which you can help is by sending emails and letters to local and national government authorities about the project.

And when thousands of citizens come together to protest through letters, sometimes, our voices are heard. It only takes 5 minutes, so do your part and send your email today. You can use one of the templates below or make your own.
We would also encourage you to send us petitions which we can display here. Please click the button below if you would like to suggest or write a petition.
