In this episode, co-hosts Chris Melody Fields Figueredo and Caroline Sánchez-Avakian talk with Danielle Atkinson, founder of Mothering Justice and veteran organizer, about how the petition phase can make or break a campaign.
From the nuts and bolts of getting started to the vulnerabilities every campaign faces, Danielle shares hard-earned lessons on turning signature collection into a deeper practice of base building and long-term community engagement. If you want to understand how movements turn signatures into real change, this episode is your guide.
