Care2 is a petition site that allows people to stand up for what they believe in and get others to support their cause.

Whether it is a petition about water, animal welfare, breast cancer, or war there are groups ‘signing’ petitions online. Which is fine, because we can now pool our energies and brains from every continent to raise our collective voices. Facebook too has a lot of activism.

But I have to say that in spite of so many inspiring platforms for digital activism, the online noble causes such as free rice, and FB groups protesting on behalf of Myanmar, nothing stirred me more than when I joined a group one Sunday to picket outside a strip mall where one of the tenants was an abortion clinic. People driving by would honk and wave in approval. Others gave us the finger.

All because a group of about 30 people were carrying (analog) signs.
