Care2 action is nothing more than a scam to spread misinformation... a far left organization conjuring up hate toward the Republican party and of course, make money while doing it. It is NOT a legitimate petition.
So I usually sign quite a bit of their petitions on care 2 through their fb page. Then I got to thinking when one showed up again that I signed last year, how come there is never any updates on how the petition has impacted that cause. I opened it up and saw they got all the signatures needed. So I fb msgd them and all they kept doing was asking me to sign petitions or that they couldn't understand me. I'm thinking they just want peoples information to sell
Been a Care2 signer for 2 years I think, and one who tries to verify validity of petitions before signing. I usually trust humans to lie off the bat, so I do whatever research I can 1st.
Never had Care2 asking me for personal info beyond email, so not sure about that issue. Then again, I won't donate money this way to ensure not being scammed
They do have a plethora of valid, solid petitions... however, as a number of reviews state, there's a sizable number that should never been approved and proven scam petitions.
And given the change of subject of petitions during the US elections on top of the proven scam petitions... their heads staff should be canned and charged accordingly.
The site is solid. I'm sure most who work there are solid, for these reasons they should continue. But not all are solid, and it's them destroying the site
Invested based on Care2.com "fake news" marketing pitch on StartEngine. Losing $Millions$. High staff turnover. Not responsive to Investor basic questions to learn what's going on. R Paynter should step down but won't. Need to be investigated by state and federal regulatory agencies? Scam?
Avoid Care2Petitions.
I believe they are intercepting and switching petitions to further their left-wing agenda.
I went first to the Law Enforcement Today site (which I found out later is not actually sponsoring a petition for impeaching Trump).
From there I then clicked on a link that sent me to whitehouse.gov.
Where I signed a petition to impeach Pelosi. The next day I got a thank-you email from Care2Petitions, thanking me for signing the petition to impeach Trump instead. I sent them an email to complain and when I checked back it was switched to impeachment for Pelosi. They never answered my message.
I had never heard of Care2 before. I noticed there are six other similar complaints about petitions being switched from impeaching Pelosi to Trump on the site.
I went here to sign a few animal petitions, next thing you know they're using MY NAME without my knowledge or permission to sign for far left petitions and other idiotic things I'd NEVER sign for. I read everything very thoroughly, no where did it say my signature would be forged and used to advance people's greedy political agendas! Care2 is garbage! For those writing animal petitions or any other petitions for that matter, use Change.org. At least they don't fraudulently use your name to sign a buttload of political propaganda petitions. Care2 is trash! How did no one sue them yet?! Legal action should be taken against them! This is what's currently driving policy makers and far leftist officials, and most of the signatures are used without your permission! It makes it look as though they have an army of people at their side rallying for far left politics when in fact most of these people AREN'T! Can you say FORGERY AND FRAUD?!
From what I have able to peruse(read), it appears to be a self-centered organization run by an an Oligarchy( too few rule) and unresponsive or unexpressive to their own members. I have belonged to too many of those sort of groups in the past and find it too hard to be effective in ways in which I feel comfortable and being ascribed views to which I am agreeable(like someone who doesn't know me telling a third person how I feel).
As you read through the petition it quickly spells out D LEFT endorsed!
The left even stoop's low enough to use abused Women that are being killed (which is just another example of why h. C. wanted to give half of the U.S. Covit 19 vaccination's to "other" countries, despyies America), animals and any other resource they can use to cover there scam's as they attempt to decise themselves as good humanitarian's.

I have always been more than happy to be asked to sign petitions supporting animal conservation, environmental and health issues inter alia but now find the regularly increasing trend towards openly critical political issues is becoming intolerable.
Sign petition for Adam Schiff to resign, got changed to an impeach Pres. Trump. Liberals can only cheat and use thug tactics! Get the Kleenex ready Dems, November 2020 is coming!
Terrific. They do a lot of good work in spite of all the Right Wing haters attacking their work. These trolls, cultists have invaded every website & social media sites.
Not only is this a legitimate petition site, but you earn credits for signing certain petitions, and you can redeem those credits for things such as "providing a shelter dog with a toy", "a day of safe drinking water for a child", or "raise a farm animal humanely" and much more. Care2 is a nonprofit and legitimate petition site, so I don't know why people are downing it without even knowing their facts.
Saw and signed one petition with which I agreed with. Then the spam began. Nothing but petitions for leftist and anti American causes.
Like others who have reviewed this site today I received a request to sign a pro impeachment petition for removal of President Trump. There are a lot of people in Washington D. C. who need to go, and the president is not one of those.
I removed my email from their site.
The lowest kind of website, they use all forms of animal abuse and torture to draw in people to "sign and get justice for dog/cat/puppy/kitten killed or maimed" they post horrific images demanding justice that can never become reality.
They do it for the ad clicks, traffic to website and they make s fortune on this type of misery and count on high emotions. All petition sites are the same. Do yourself a favor and skip these types of websites.
I have been a member of this fantastic site for more than a decade. It allows personal email service for communication, click to donate for wonderful charities, petitions ready to sign and setup, along with topical news stories. Just for using this marvelous site, you receive credits that can be redeemed for the causes most dear to you. Consequently, it is a site that keeps on giving!
I signed a law petition and received the confirmation, thank you email for that one but also another email thanking me for signing the petition to impeach Trump, which I had never signed. Regardless of anyone's political views, it is unethical to be authorizing our electronic signatures on petitions we never authorized signage for. I have emailed Care2 to remove my signature on that petition.
Despite some of the comments below, care2.com is indeed a great site. From living healthier to green living, to promoting causes out there, this site is a great source of information, while at the same time, giving you an opportunity to make a difference.
Because it is heavily slanted towards global warming, human rights, civil rights, etc., there is a pretty good chance that you are not going to like them if you are an ultra right-wing person. It is a site that is abashedly and openly towards the left. Most people who make negative comments will find themselves on the other side.
Care2 forums are full of nasty trolls. I thought if any site would be more intelligent, mature, compassionate and caring as well as civil towards one another, it would be Care2. The trolls there seem to have taken over many of the threads and destroy any chance of civil, intelligent discourse. As another person noted, the staff will rarely, if ever, reply to any concerns or inquiries. Many good, caring people have walked away from Care2 due to the abundance of trolls there. Until, or unless they do some 'housecleaning' and get rid of the trolls, I will not participate there anymore.
I check daily to sign on a petition if I think it is a good cause! People don't know whats going in in this administration. Trump is signing in name of big businesses and our Earth and its inhabitants are suffering! There is alsi soo much cruelty and heinous acts of brutality that we need to sign and try to do what we can!
Like many people, as suggested by other reviews, I started signing Care2 petitions that I cared about. But Care2 frequently combined the petitions I wanted to sign with submission boxes that were really about joining certain political election campaigns. They either prevent you from submitting your signature on petitions you want to unless you join the election campaign or trick you into thinking that by clicking on joining these election campaigns (which you don't notice) you are really only signing the petition. It's deceptive. Sadly, I won't be signing anymore of the petitions, many of which I really did care about.
Answer: I have tried contacting Care2 about this. Do the points really become the gifts they claim? Absolutely no answer, even tried on their help forums. They just ignore it. Best answer is your gift helps towards that goal. Yea, right. That's the same line advertising always uses, "helps" weasel word if I ever heard one. I would say it's still worth doing as it costs you nothing. But, please don't use it as a substitute to giving money to charity. The Care2 gifts are worth pennies; at most may be a £1 or $1 (that's for gifts that require over 5000 points)
Answer: Doubt it.
Care2 has a rating of 2 stars from 73 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Care2 most frequently mention and sign petitions. Care2 ranks 3rd among Petition sites.
