We have just launched New Zealand?s first ever people powered petition platform and we?re pretty excited about it!

It?s called TOKO and you can find it at www.toko.org.nz

With TOKO you can start, run and deliver your own campaign on just about anything, with the cutting edge technology you need at your fingertips. It can be big or small, heroic or ordinary. The decision, and the power is in your hands. If you have an idea to make your community, your school, your local playground or the planet a better place, TOKO will be a great place to start.

We?ll work with anyone who starts a petition and we?ll be there to offer advice and support as you run your campaign.

Two people have already started petitions – one to stop fracking in New Zealand and the other to stop the Government sending our troops to Iraq – and they?re both off to a great start.

Click here to check it out, sign either of the petitions if you want to or start one of your own – and please send the link to anyone you know that could benefit from TOKO.

P.S. In case you?re wondering, Toko is a Maori word (pronounced like ?tore-core?), which means to have feelings and emotions spring up in your mind, and to start moving. It also forms part of the word Tautoko – to agree. Here?s the link again.
