In 2001 Care2 created thepetitionsite.com, which since then
has become one of the biggest hubs for activism on the web.
Our roots are in online activism, and over the past decade
we've learned how to optimize that strategy for maximum effect.
At more than 80 million signatures, we've got some impressive numbers, not only with Care2's 18 million core members, but also through the immense reach of our wider 150 million person audience that sees our petitions every month through our extensive Media Partner Network.

Care2 is the largest social action network on the web. No other petition site comes even close for sheer volume and member engagement. It is particularly effective at advancing nonprofit advocacy goals. While every Care2 recruitment campaign includes delivery of your petition signatures free of charge, Care2 has even more tools that can further your advocacy campaigns.
Care2 Media Partner Network
One benefit of using Care2’s donor lead recruitment campaigns is the huge extra reach and visibility that your branded campaign will receive – at no extra charge – by virtue of Care2’s Media Partner Network. This group of more than 170 partners – including Mother Jones, Grist, Ms. Magazine, Treehugger, Daily Kos, ThirdAge, Technorati and CaféMom – promotes Care2 campaigns extensively via their websites and email messages to an additional 150 million unique citizens every month. (That’s over and above Care2’s own website traffic and membership of 18million people!) And Care2’s partner network continues to grow all the time.
Pledges
If your organization does not make advocacy a part of your mission, that's okay. At Care2 we've ultimately found that there are always passionate people who are willing to respond to a good cause. So even if you're not lobbying for landmark legislation, a simple yet meaningful call to action will still appeal to our members and bring curious supporters to your doorstep. These softer appeals, which we call 'pledges,' are also popular on Care2. Our educational Care2 Daily Action is a great example of how wildly popular a pledge can be.
Click-to-Call
Elevate your online advocacy beyond petitions using Care2's Click-to-Call service. With just a few extra clicks, your supporters can take an immediate next step to advance your campaign and demonstrate loyalty to your cause, transforming them into a vast virtual phone bank that can right away start pushing for your goals.
Our streamlined approach offers:
- seamless integration with your Care2 petition
- data metrics on both call times and volumes
- rapid response on call outcomes
- customized messaging and call instructions
- extended reach to both houses of Congress, the White House, Department of Homeland Security, all 50 state governors, and both the upper and lower chambers of most state legislatures
