This voter-driven effort will not succeed without the key ingredient: YOU. There are many ways you can support the effort for a Charter Commission to consider changes to our form of government:
- TOP NEED: Sign the petition
- TOP NEED: Volunteer Opportunities (collect signatures at events)
- Host a Signature Petition or a House Party
- Donate
- Stay Informed
Find & Sign the Petition to form a Charter Commission
You cannot sign the petition electronically (unfortunately!), but we make it easy to sign in person. Just click “Sign the Petition” below and fill out the short form. We will then connect you with a volunteer in your neighborhood who has a petition you can sign.
Having a ballot question to form a Charter Commission is just the first step in the community’s consideration of what its form of government should look like, but it’s an essential step because there is no other voter-driven path to potentially making a change. Your signature helps Brookline take that first step.
Volunteer with the Charter Campaign
The Charter Commission signature campaign needs you! To close in on the required 6,000+ signatures to put a Charter Commission on the Brookline ballot, we need you to help collect signatures at upcoming community events like soccer try-outs, art fairs, and the Farmers Market. Take a look at all the events, sign up for whichever one works for you, and bring a friend!
Host a Signing Station or House Party
Can you host a petition in your neighborhood for those who want to sign? Can you gather friends to talk about why and how local government could be better? Click “Yes, I can host!” below and we will be in touch to get materials to you or help you organize a house event.
Donate
Help support the campaign with a donation. This helps us develop materials, get the word out, recruit volunteers, and reach more voters with information and other materials so important to this voter-driven, community-wide effort.
