Care2 has garnered a mixed reputation among its users, with some praising its commitment to social causes and the opportunity to earn credits for charitable actions. However, significant concerns overshadow these positive elements, particularly regarding the perceived manipulation of petitions and unauthorized use of signatures for political agendas.

Overall, while Care2 appeals to those aligned with its progressive mission, it faces substantial criticism over transparency and ethical practices.

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.

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.

I used the site to sign a petition helping animals, then I got an email thanking me for signing a Impeachment of Trump Petition. When I tried to get into contact with the site they did not respond. I will be reporting this issue to the Better Business Bureau.

Care2, just another misleading animals rights group. This petition is just a gateway to eliminate ALL legal Recreational Sport Hunting.

The fact Care2 allowed this is DISGUSTING! I am NOT a pedophile, the person has provided no evidence/proof in their petition. It is illegal to do this, and yet Care2 allows it?! WTF!

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 think that Care2 is making a huge mistake aligning itself with LeBron James. LeBron James is nothing but an overpriced fool and clown.

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!

Who are you? And what are you actually doing to help these abused animals? Are you going to Korea to stop this abuse? Or do you enjoy showing abuse?

I have received multiple notices thanking me for signing petitions I never signed - including, as others here did, the Impeach Trump petition.

I have been in charged of many petition on the care2 site for a while and I was somewhat happy with how my signatures were going up because I promoted my cause on social network. Although my success is ongoing with my petitions, I have never even been able to contact tech support, the vice president, the staff or anyone who works for care2, they completely ignore me when I am in need of help. I sent so many e-mails and NO RESPONSE! I mean you are a site for GOOD and you possibly are the worse people, you just do not care! I cannot send updates to my supporters AT ALL and no one can help me. I feel so bad that you give people false hope and just don't help them in their time of need! If you have a cause that you want to bring to light please make it on change.org and stay AWAY FROM CARE2, it is not worth the headache and I am convinced its a scam!

While observing both sides of a petition war over Laura Ingraham's employment, I notice the anti-lngraham petition on Care2 racking up huge numbers while the pro-Ingraham petition on. Standunited lagged behind.
The funny thing was that while nearly all pro signators left comments less than 5% left comments on the anti-lngraham petition?
The pro petition was ranked well ahead of the Care2 petition when ranked by a g oogle search. This might suggest that the pro side was getting more hits. If this is the case, it would seem strange that a petition can double the number of signatures while getting less hits. The answer may come from the many reviews that suggests that Care2 pouches peoples information from other petitions and forges them onto petitions supporting left wing causes.
This would be no surprise given the Sal Alynski tactics of the left but we can only guess.

If you sign petitions you build up Butterfly Points to give to charities. These gifts are supposedly donated by Care2 using the Butterfly Points, BUT, you cannot find out if the charity actually receives the gift. To contact Care2 you have to fill in a fiddly online Form which always bounces back asking for more info. I wanted to know if my Butterfly Points Gift was received by ASPCA but Care2 refuse to reply. I want to help animals by signing petitions against abuse and cruelty but wonder if Care2 are genuine? Does anyone know why they dont reply to peoples messages?

Signing on our behalf?
February 20, 2018

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.

I too signed 2 petitions. 1 was for the Gravy Train dog food recall. The other was for animal abusers to not be allowed to have guns. I was somehow magically signed up for 3 others that I never signed up for! One of them was to impeach Trump! I happen to like president Trump! What the hell... DO NOT SIGN PETITIONS THERE! Please inform and warn your friends and family about this site and any others that are doing the same!

Fraudulent Petition

I signed a petition to stop Volkswagen from using monkeys in experiments to test diesel fumes and received an email that I had signed a petition to impeach Trump. I never signed a petition to impeach Trump. Shady...

Fraudulent petition
February 4, 2018

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.
