Facebook Is Extending Its Test of a Petition Feature for Local Issues in News Feed

Community Action enables elected officials and government agencies to take part

Facebook has been testing Community Action, a feature that enables people to share petitions about local issues on News Feed, in select U.S. markets over the past several weeks, and that test group is growing larger this week.

People in the test group can create a Community Action containing information including the specific change that is needed (such as adding dedicated bike lanes to downtown streets), why it would benefit the affected community and which government officials and/or agencies would be responsible for making the changes.
