Updates are a crucial way to get information out to your supporters and engage them to become campaigners themselves. Every update you post is then emailed out to all people who have signed your campaign, so posting an update is a great way to engage your audience and encourage action. Through updates, you can put pressure on decision-makers and get closer to winning your campaign.
