Build grassroots support for community-owned internet with Paperform

Municipal broadband advocacy requires more than just a petition—it needs a coordinated campaign that gathers supporter information, demonstrates community need, and builds a coalition ready to take action. This municipal broadband advocacy sign-up form template helps community organizers, digital equity advocates, and civic groups mobilize residents around public internet utility initiatives.

Why this form works for digital equity campaigns

Whether you're advocating for fiber-to-the-home infrastructure, pushing for public alternatives to monopolistic ISPs, or organizing around digital inclusion goals, this template captures everything you need: pledge signatures, personal stories about connectivity gaps, volunteer availability, and demographic data that proves the equity case for municipal networks.

The form includes conditional fields that adapt based on someone's current internet situation—letting you gather detailed testimony from those experiencing service gaps, high costs, or no access at all. You can also segment supporters by zip code, track volunteer capacity, and identify community leaders willing to speak at council meetings or organize their neighbors.

Once someone signs your petition, the real organizing work begins. Connect this form to Stepper to automatically add supporters to your CRM, send personalized follow-up emails based on their interests, assign volunteers to team captains by neighborhood, and trigger SMS reminders before key city council votes or public comment deadlines.
