“Stop hurting Care2's feelings”

This website is trying their best for a better future, stop being mean as heck, okay, sure they aren't the best website, but stop disapproving their website.

Top Critical Review

“An outsider's view.”

James S.
3/3/23

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).

This site no longer lets you click for free to support caues you believe in (made possible by advertisers), but there are still a wide variety of petitions you can sign to support causes you believe in. There are many areas of interest you can check out. My personal favorites are animal welfare, wildlife, and the environment, but there are also categories for the more politically-minded.

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.

This site is for good causes though I've seen some pretty ridiculous petitions on here that shouldn't even be permitted. IF IT WASNT FOR THIS SITE AND OTHER PETITION SITES LIKE AVAZ THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN THIS WORLD.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
NEVER GIVE UP NEVER GIVE IN!
Thank You. Care2! Keep up the good work!

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 joined Care2 many years ago and get emails about updates on many of the petitions I have signed - all are positive - I definitely will keep signing and supporting this wonderful organization.

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!

I've been a member of Care2 for a number of years. Care2 is the best petition site - by far.

Here's why:

It's incredible to see how much impact the members have on the world. People start petitions to help protect local parks, improve school policies (e.g. BYU "code of conduct" rape petition), help wildlife (e.g. Cecil the lion, Yulin dog festival) and thousands of other causes.

Care2 is truly a community (35 million people) of people who want to make a positive impact on the world. Other petition sites are just places to start a petition. At Care2, the members are very active to support each others campaigns.

Care2 has partnerships with thousands of nonprofit organizations to help them win their campaigns. They work with all the big names (Amnesty International, World Wildlife Fund, Human Rights Watch, etc.)

Why do some people bash the site? Because Care2 is a threat to some people. They fight the NRA, they don't support policies of the Religious Right, they support gay rights, freedom of choice and the rights of us little people around the world - so that angers people on the far Right.

As the saying goes, "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History". That makes a lot of people unhappy, but I think that also means they're having an impact.

Also, Care2 does connect people with nonprofits, but you need to give your permission for them to do that. So, if people are complaining about this, they should just opt-out of that.

Care2 is the real deal. Highly recommended.

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.

I have been a member of care 2 since 2012, I have signed thousands of petitions,, I have learned of things I didn't know existed.
When I have had a problem, I have found the administrator "Eric" to be helpful, respectful, caring, and funny,
Care 2 has it's own group, "feedback & suggestions" - and believe me it is very popular.
Aside from collecting and donating butterfly credits, signing petitions, reading very informative c2nn stories,. Anyone can start a petition for a cause, but if it is stupid, racist, or down right offensive, it will soon be removed, petitions can be "flagged up" -so too can offensive comments, they will be removed if found to be racist - or it attacks a certain minority group of people -. Aside from that care 2 does allow free speech, - there is a code of conduct to abide to, (commonsense code of decency)
There are different groups for people to join, Some chat and play word games, some groups are support groups, others are political discussion groups, - "how to "... groups.
There is a group "click to donate free food" where you can click to help people animals, and the vulnerable, all from different parts of the world, - "Greatergood " can be found there.
I am a member of different groups, and have made some lovely friends, we have swapped emails, and now send greeting cards through the post slow mail,
Then finally you can send "E, Cards" which generate money for good causes.
I have had only positive results from joining care2, and yes once I was "told off" in a nice way, because i was silly enough to fall into a trolls "slagging match" trust me I gave as good as I got. - but it achieved a big fat zero, and wasted my time.
As for selling our data! Nearly everything is sold by everyone, and as for the person who said, they had to give their address to sign a petition on care 2, I have never signed a petition where it didn't ask for your email and address,, I just click the tick box, - for- "no i do not want any further info on... or from..."
- P. E. T. A. demands your phone number and age,. But after complaints, the phone number is optional, but you have to give your age, --- I am very healthy and spritely for 115 years old! --
Care 2 do care about their members, and do generate a lot of awareness for causes, they have had fantastic success re- outcomes from petitioning for better animal welfare, as well as human rights and caring for our planet.
The 2 star rating is terribly unfair, they are a 4 star site, and 5 star in my opinion

It allows you to sign petitions and submit news stories. In return you then gain butterfly rewards which can be spent on projects to help the needy, and it buys things you otherwise wouldn't be able to afford (eg. A well etc). At first, I had trouble accessing the site but for some monthes now this seems to have been fixed after a tweet I sent to the Care2 team.

I'm pleased to say I was one of the signers of the Care2 petition asking Waitrose to stop selling the deadly herbicide Roundup.

After tens of thousands of us signed the petition, the company agreed to drop Roundup.

We did it! It worked! Thank you Care2:)

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.

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...
