How can people indivdually or in association with others bring their influence to bear on government in ways other than voting and elections

People by themselves or associating with others are able to influence by creating an environment for like-minded citizens to gather in recreational groups such as community centers, libraries, parks, or more official local government meetings. Petitions, protests, demonstrations, join interest groups, contract representatives, donations.
