If you have more time to give, consider getting involved with the Grass Roots Law Projects and host a meeting to pressure your local officials to defund police.  https://www.grassrootslaw.org/ They have incredible resources for learning with wonderful individuals willing to walk you through the process of contacting your local government

The power of social media has influenced and has made  social impacting changed to communities with protests and petitions online. With our voice being stronger than online, with our words online it can echo throughout and reach new heights.

Whether it's a change within the healthcare system, or to help out a local farm. Online petitions can be easily accessed online, and with the help of smartphones, it's easier than ever to participate.

Bakardjieva 2009 states instead of an emphasis on each individual’s freedom to pursue his or her own good, communitarian thinkers insist on the centrality of the common good and ground citizenship in the act of its embracement and prioritisation. Making a clear point that change happens not for one person, but for the community

So, how does one impact the community with change? With a strong idea and point, sharing a petition online can go viral online, spreading through the internet gaining a strong online community.

Global group petitions as stated from Strange (2011) "GGPs are online petitions typically framed as ‘global’ and linking sometimes hundreds of advocacy groups behind a common set of critical statements contesting global politics"

It's no longer just politics within one place, no longer is one problem just a one country problem, it's become a global issue. Which is pretty amazing because, without the internet, we wouldn't be able to gain more help by other like-minded people with that same opinions and thoughts.  

I have a suspicion that the Stop SOPA petition is not specific enough to count towards the actual threat: The Trans Pacific Partnership policies and the Notice and Staydown policies.

THIS is what is threatening fan-made content on websites that the SOPA 2014 scare mentioned.

Well, they've been up to some kind of jerktastic stuff, and some people have had enough of struggling to make ends meet while being nastily preyed upon in a pretty unfair way by their loan holders  -- stuff like, financially penalizing people who are struggling to find work, and have been promised forbearance.  So, there's a petition, and so far, it has gotten Sallie Mae to back down a little, but not enough.
