Why can't she tolerate the ideas of self-love and self-acceptance?

Candace Owens is spreading cruelty, shame, and self-loathing. This Right-Wing Pundit Wants Everyone to Fat-Shame People Sign Now      Arfin,   Right-wing provocateur Candace Owens feels personally offended by other people's bodies. Her solution? She thinks everyone should fat-shame people.   This is a frightening and cruel suggestion. Spewing vitriol against other people because of their bodies is discrimination, pure and simple!  Sign the petition to demand that Candace Owens takes back her hateful words!   In her latest video on the topic, Owens complains of the "dangers of fat acceptance" and claims that it's supposedly "good to feel shame."   But actually, shame is highly dangerous, contributing to deadly threats including eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-harm, and even suicidal behaviors.   Eating disorders already plague approximately 28 million Americans. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD): "Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental illnesses, second only to opioid overdose. 10,200 deaths each year are the direct result of an eating disorder--that's one death every 52 minutes. About 26% of people with eating disorders attempt suicide."   Just because Candace Owens can't handle that other people are willing to treat themselves with kindness of self-compassion, doesn't mean she should be promoting self-hatred and toxic shame.   Sign the petition to demand that Candace Owens retract her harmful words! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Candace Owens says she is promoting fat-hatred and fat-shaming. That means she's actually promoting self-hatred, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

This beauty brand is guilty of horrific animal torture

The pain and misery is too high a cost for our cosmetics. MAC Cosmetics is Torturing Animals Even Though This Type of Testing Is No Longer Required       Sign Now      Arfin,   Burning chemicals dripped into rabbits' eyes. Unsafe agents rubbed onto the bare, raw skin of shaved guinea pigs. Poisonous products shoved down the throats of terrified mice. These are the realities of cosmetics animal testing which, until recently, was strictly required for products sold on the Chinese market.   But since 2014, restrictions on cosmetics sales have been easing there. Now, if companies sell "general" cosmetics (skincare, hair care, nail care, makeup, and fragrances), they have the option to opt out of animal testing!   Many companies quickly took the chance to adopt more compassionate practices, freeing defenseless animals from lives of captivity and torture. But MAC Cosmetics has yet to change its testing policies and procedures. Apparently a change in the law isn't enough to convince MAC to show some mercy for innocent animals, but our collective voice might just be loud enough to make them listen.   Add your name and voice to the petition telling MAC Cosmetics: it is time to go cruelty-free! End animal testing now! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Eased restrictions on cosmetics animal testing mean that companies can easily go cruelty-free. Demand MAC Cosmetics stop needlessly torturing animals.      Sign Now

It's legal to discriminate based on natural hair

We need to change that immediately! Ban Racist Discrimination Against Natural Hair in Missouri!      Sign Now      Arfin,   For years, Black people have been expected to go to great lengths to conform to "professional" hairstyles, including using intensive chemical hair treatment products like relaxers and straighteners. But the reality is, there is no such thing as a more professional hairstyle at all. In fact, these expectations are simply rooted in white supremacy. It's time we fight back against this blatant racism and demand protections for natural hairstyles.    Sign now to demand the Missouri legislature pass the CROWN Act!   No more Black people should have to deal with the unnecessary stress of accommodating a white supremacist culture that disrespects their hair texture and styles. To address this, several states across the country have passed the Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act, making discrimination based on hairstyle illegal.   The act has now been introduced into the Missouri legislature, and we must ensure it gets passed there, too! Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Kelsey Care2 Petitions Team      Sign Now

A sweet pup was found severely neglected

We need justice for Golden Girl! This Innocent Dog Suffered Extreme Neglect in Texas      Sign Now      Arfin,   A sweet pup named Golden Girl was found wandering around Waco, Texas, with a collar so tight that it caused severe, painful lacerations around her neck. At best, this was an instance of severe neglect. At worst, the harm suffered by this animal may have been intentional. We need justice for Golden Girl!   Sign now to urge the McLennan County Sheriff's Office to do everything in their power to find this dog's owner and suggest a lifetime ban on animal ownership!   The Heart of Texas Lost & Found Pets and Cribs For Canines is offering a reward for information that helps identify the dog owner. McLennan County Sheriff's Office must help in this search as much as they can - and help ensure that whoever did this cannot lay their hands on an animal again. Sign the petition now if you agree! Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A sweet pup was found with a collar so tight it caused severe neck lacerations. Demand justice!      Sign Now

13 is too young to consent, period.

Yet that is the current age of consent in Japan. Japan's National Age of Consent is 13. A New Proposal Could Finally Raise It      Sign Now      Arfin,   A desperately needed overhaul of Japan's sexual offense laws has been proposed, and we must do everything we can to ensure it becomes enacted. Under the current law, Japan's national age of consent is just 13 years old. On top of that, the country's rape laws make it incredibly difficult for survivors to prove sexual assault has occurred to courts, meaning perpetrators are unlikely to ever face any punishment. But this new proposal could change all of that.   Sign now to tell the Japanese government to uphold this proposal and protect the country's minors!   Japan has the lowest age of consent in any developed country, and there is no excuse for the country to maintain such a horrifically young age of consent. 13-year-olds are children -- ones who deserve legal protection from grooming and rape. It is time the nation's laws reflect that.   An overhaul of these sexual offense laws in Japan is long overdue. We must fight for survivors of rape and sexual assault and protect Japanese children from these traumatizing, unwanted sexual encounters.
