  In December 2011, a fourth-grade class in Brookline, Massachusetts, launched the “Lorax Petition Project” through Change.org requesting Universal Studios to include a more vital environmental message on its website and trailer for its upcoming film, The Lorax, based on the classic Dr Seuss children’s story. The petitioners felt that the website and trailer lacked an important message from the book, “to help the environment.” The petition collected over 57,000 signatures, and on January 26, 2012, the studio updated the website “with the environmental message the kids had dictated.”

  On May 30, 2020, a petition titled “Justice for George Floyd” was created after unarmed African-American George Floyd was murdered by police, leading to mass protests. The petition earned over 19 million signatures, making it the most signed petition in the platform’s history, surpassing the Article 13 opposition petition over a year earlier.

  On July 3, 2015, a 14-year-old girl began a petition to ensure that domestic violence prevention is covered in the Australian curriculum. The campaign was started to raise awareness for people who were unaware they were domestic violence victims. After the campaign, Minister Pru Goward announced that the school districts would introduce domestic violence education into schools. The campaign had 101,747 supporters.

    And what the fuck did the petition do? Protests work, petitions don’t do shit.

      How can you compare the mishandling of flaky criminals with a rapsheet as long as your arm with the purposeful destruction of art by billion dollar corpos?
