Take Action, Start a Petition

The Care2 Petition Site makes it a snap to start your own petition. First, identify the target of your protest, then draft out a call-to-action message and decide on your goal number of signatures. Next, fill in your personal information and think up a snazzy blurb for the promo spot that will be displayed on the Petition Site homepage, in the petition library, and at other pieces of real estate on Care2.com. Hit publish, use the free promotional tools to spread the word, and wait for the signatures to come pouring in.

Recent success stories include the Forest Ethics petition, which garnered 23,686 signatures and managed to persuade Victoria's Secret to stop using paper made from endangered Canadian Boreal forests, as well as to maximize post-consumer recycled content in its catalogs. ::Care2 Petition Site
