Petitions A quick note on petitions: while they raise awareness, a government is not going to care about a petition started by a non-citizen (WH.gov petitions have a time period they were responded to under the Obama administration but the Trump administration has neglected active petitions there back to 2017). The most impact you can have right now is calling or emailing your elected representatives.
