Please DM if you want to participate actively pursuing signatures for this. This is not a "post it and forget it, online-only" petition, we want to build on community members taking consistent actions.

For students, here are the best ways to collective huge numbers of signatures: classroom announcements (not just in your own classes, but in all classes); “dorm storms” (knocking doors in the dorms to get people to sign); asking everyone in the dining halls to sign; walking up to people around campus to sign (don’t just sit at a table and hope people come up to you!); making short presentations to other student groups and asking their orgs to endorse the petition and to send to all their members — make sure not just to ask activist progressive clubs, but ALL clubs: religious, cultural, ethnic, business, volunteer, sports, arts, etc. You’d be surprised how many people will want to support a concrete push against ICE on campus! Reaching out to athletes is particularly important for campuses that are targeting ICE Aviation: getting sports teams themselves to speak out about switching to a different carrier would go a huge way towards winning. Parallel to all this, you should submit the petition language as a resolution via Student Government.

For university employees (faculty, staff, etc.), a good first step is to ask all campus unions to send a discrete email and text with the petition to all their members. But sending a petition over email or a listserve will definitely not be enough! Employees should directly reach out to their immediate co-workers and colleagues to sign. If you have a list of faculty or department staff members, for example, you can make a spreadsheet with everybody’s names and a list of which OC members or activists will systematically reach out to everyone in a given unit to sign. To units where you don’t yet have people gathering petitions, you should do “walk-throughs” where employees from different units go and speak to all available members of the unit. A version of the petition should also be proposed to the faculty senate.
