Care2

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.

We're in Canada, yet for all the people going to the petition the country comes up as United States. Many people don't notice this, and further down where they try to enter the province it won't let them, so they go away in frustration. We've had many complaint's and lost signatures because of this.

It would be so much smarter, if, in the settings section, the founders of the petition could enter the default country and have the petition default to that.

I've been a member for a long time and now I have serious doubts about this site.
We used to be able to redeem points, get extra points for clicking daily etc. Now I cannot do anything it seems despite numerous complaints to customer service. I also contacted the Turtle Hatchling charity and they said they hadn't received any contributions from Care2 in a long time, so who knows where anything is going, or IF we are really accomplishing anything by clicking, sending green stars etc. I've tried different browsers and no matter how much I try to redeem, my star count never decreases and the processing window seldom completes. I am debating whether to waste my time clicking daily and am sorry this site has come to this.

Another extremely great site for people who would love to donate money and help different charities without actually spending any of your own money (for those who can't really afford)... they have an option of click-to-donate with some special different charities they support, where you just click the charity and the sponsors of care2 will pay money for every click to the charity. Amazing ini... now can help even if not rich... :)) ... love this site... ofcuz there are other things as well that you can do on the site... meet other likeminded kind people, do daily causes, get info for green living, healthy living, the list is very big...

I'm a huge animal, environment and children's advocate and donor. I've been creating, signing, sharing petitions, calling, writing, etc. on behalf of several non-profits and other petition sites such as Care2. However, I had to finally stop going onto Care2. They are not open minded and just too political. It's obvious they lean very far left, and as a moderate, I want things to always be fair and in the middle so people can make up their own minds. I actually probably vote democrat far more than repub, so if I find Care2 disturbingly biased, then it's an issue. Most importantly, the other petition sites I sign through such as LadyFreethinker and Change.org, are far more successful. They've made a lot more changes and educate the entire world in ways Care2 doesn't. Plus, the other sites I sign through don't turn people off. I've had some family and friends ask me not to forward Care2 petitions to them. I've never ever had an issue or offended anyone when I've shared petitions from other sites.

Another major problem is that the articles that make up the Care2 news section and the Causes section are frequently from disreputable sources of extreme anti-science propaganda. Finally, there is an extreme intolerance of people who post alternative views to whatever agenda the articles are pushing. Generally, an unpleasant site where a small group of people rage that the sky is falling based upon biased information, discourage other view points, and create frequently useless petitions to fight problems that oftentimes don't even exist. And, yes, they are a private, for-profit corporations selling members' data and frequently spamming members' inboxes.

I thought I was signing a petition dealing with animal welfare, but when I got to the end of it to send it, the petition evidently included another petition to impeach Trump. I would NEVER have signed that as I support the President 100%! I was very distressed to see this happen and wrote multiple emails to the company but no one has responded back. I am insisting that they remove my signature from that petition. I am going to also write to my congressmen about this highly deceptive petition and that it probably has a lot of signatures from people who really hadn't intended to sign it! I can see from other posts here, I am not the only one that this has happened to.

I have been a member since 2012 and now considering leaving this Web site. It's purpodted mission is to promote causes which better the lives of people and all other life.

Unfortunately, my experience has been getting worse and worse as the site bungles basic Web protocols. It has wiped out my profile details several times over the years and if it doesn't improve over the next weeks, I will be deleting my account.

There are other sites to sign petitions on - e.g., Change.org, Forcechange.com, or Avaaz.org - and which provide a sense of community. I am very disappointed in Care2 but I guess that's life.
