The website is rubbish, some of the petitions are racist and/or just plain idiotic and my name and comment are never published after signing.

While these petitions do make a difference, study what you are adding your name to before signing. One listed Cardi B as an animal lover, encouraging her not to perform at a rodeo or something. When I checked Cardi B on another website, she wore furs into court. Animal lover? I think not.

I was trying to log in and it won't let me use my password. I know for sure that it is the right password, but it keeps saying that it is not the right password. I kept typing my password over and over but it still won't login. I also read that they stand with feminists, and modern feminism is some pretty shady stuff, so yeah. Their website does look pretty clean and professional, and they give good tips on how to start a petition, and some of these petitions are necessary, but a lot of these promoted petitions seem to be alt-left wing material. Overall not the best petition website.

Anyone who signs gets bombarded with email about other unrelated petitions and so either ignores them, unsubscribes to all mailings from care2 or creates a filter to junk them. In my case, when the petition closed and was delivered, I wanted to be able to keep people informed about the reply to the petition and further progress. I couldn't because once the petition is closed you can't email any updates any more. care2's customer service were very good about this, specially re-opening my ability to post updates for a short period, but it was too late because everyone had unsubscribed from receiving emails from care2. Now that I need to take followup action on the issue, there is no way to contact the support base of 1000+ people who felt strongly about the issue, so I would have to re-do all the social marketing I did the first time, but without support as the first time as I don't expect as many people to run a second article on essentially the same topic. Of course, I may be wrong, but care2's promiscuous email mechanism is counterproductive to the effectiveness of the petitions themselves.

Care2.com gives or sells your information, even if you only sign a petition. You will also be bombarded by emails for other petitions, not necessarily associated with the one you signed. My advice is to stay away or suffer the consequences.
