Petitions: Do they Work?
b'
In this episode we unpack petitions, in general and within the environmental movement, with human rights lawyer, Lesego Nchunga and 350.org Campaign Specialist, Ahmed Mokgopo. We explore what they are, if they work and how to amplify their impact. We take note of past petitions in Botswana addressing gender-based violence and defilement that were led by civil society. We also note successful environmental petitions in South Africa.
