At the Emergency Campaign, we believe petitions are about more than collecting signatures—they are a powerful organizing tool that helps demonstrate broad public support and communicates to decision-makers that people are paying attention and want change now.
Petitions also do more than send a message. They help connect people who care about the same issue, identify new leaders, and build the relationships and collective power needed to win meaningful change. Every movement starts by bringing people together around a shared demand, and petitions are often the first step in that process.
The petitions below address some of the most urgent threats facing higher education today. By signing, you’re not only adding your voice—you’re joining a growing community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters working together to protect and strengthen higher education.
Take action today by signing the petition, sharing it with others, and helping us build the power we need to win.
