Petitions, boycotts, and strikes are powerful tools that people use to advocate for change. A petition is a request signed by many individuals asking for a specific action, such as changing a law. Boycotts involve people refusing to buy products from a company to protest its practices. Strikes occur when workers stop working to demand better conditions or pay.
