A few days after posting my petition, I noticed something strange. Unfamiliar names from places far from my home were signing my petition. I had only shared the petition on Facebook, with my grade. Where could these signatures be coming from?
A few days after that, I got my answer. Pulin Modi from change.org emailed me. Originally I thought it was a spam message, but I Googled his name and found that he does indeed work for change.org, as a senior campaigner. His signature didn't lie.
Pulin was interested in my petition. He told me that change.org was testing it out on audiences that care about sustainable food and workers' rights. That was where the signatures were coming from. Strangers from across Canada that care.
After reading his email, I added some new information to the petition.
Today, I presented this blog to my class. After class, I asked my teacher if I should include this email. He told me absolutely.
This petition is going to be open for years to come. It's (virtually) never too late to make a difference.
What could you lose by signing?
