Understanding petitions with 38 Degrees

By 38 Degrees team

At 38 Degrees, we’re incredibly proud to be a diverse community of a million people spread across every corner of the country. This diversity means we don’t all hold the same views on every issue, and that’s perfectly okay. In fact, it’s a strength!

But we are united in creating a Britain where we all get a fair chance in life and where the place we were born, or the area we live in, doesn’t decide that chance. Where we protect our planet and hold those in power to account for doing the same, and where we are treated, and treat one another, with respect.

We are known for our impactful campaigning including: widely publicised stunts, making it easier for the public to contact their MPs and also for our petitions – a powerful way for individuals and organisations to drive change on issues they care about.

At 38 Degrees, you’ll find two main types of petitions:

  • 38 Degrees-led campaigns: We run our own petitions focused on key areas that our supporters deeply care about. These often include crucial issues like protecting the NHS, safeguarding our environment, and tackling the cost of living crisis. These campaigns are a direct reflection of the issues that matter most to our million-strong community, who power our campaigns.
  • Campaigns by You: This is where anyone can ignite change! Whether you’re an individual or an organisation, you can use this platform to start a petition on any issue you’re passionate about – big or small, local or national. We believe in empowering people to lead their own campaigns, and our dedicated office team is on hand to offer advice and support. If your campaign gains momentum, you could also get access to a wide range of tools designed to help you run and win your campaign.

While we encourage everyone to raise their voice, all petition starters must adhere to our Terms of Service to ensure we remain a safe space for everyone.

So, whether you’re passionate about a local issue affecting your community or a national issue impacting millions, 38 Degrees offers a powerful platform to make your voice heard. We believe that when enough people come together, even small actions can lead to big changes.
