Thank you! Do to the huge love for diet coke and other diet soda's you are only the 22 person to have signed this petition. I cannot get people to believe this information apparently. Shamefully, even people who drink non-diet beverages with high-fructose corn syrup are a lab rats. Nobody knows what the long term affect of this modified food additive is. Spread the word. Water with lemon is cheap!Read more

On June 4, 2019, a video was released exposing Fair Oaks Farm, in Indiana, for their animal abuse and cruelty. The video showed calfs being separated from their mothers, being thrown into trucks, being stepped on, being hit, and other forms of cruelty. The lack of respect show to these animals is unacceptable.
Everyone sees Fair Oaks as a family friendly place to be. It is an animal killing place for profit by big corporations. I urge Coca Cola to stop funding this place.
Fair Oaks kills cows everyday. They show the proper way to milk a cow everyday in the showrooms. However, they fail to show the extreme abuse from the handlers to the cows. The lack of dignity from these employees is unacceptable. This is not just one or two bad workers, it’s all of the cow handlers.
Coca Cola has the power to shut down this operation. I urge you to sign this petition to stop this abuse and give these innocent animals liberation.��✨Read more

The equivalent of one truckload of plastic enters the ocean every minute — but where is it all coming from? Up until recently, we weren’t sure. But to solve the plastic pollution crisis, we knew we needed to arm ourselves with the best information possible.
So, together with our partners in the Break Free From Plastic movement, we enlisted the help of 10,000 volunteers across 42 countries to embark on the world’s most ambitious plastic cleanup and brand audit project yet. Nine months, six continents, 239 cleanup events, and more than 187,000 pieces of trash later, we now have the most comprehensive snapshot to date of how corporations are contributing to the global plastic pollution problem.
They are, in order from most to least commonly found in global brand audits:

At Davos 2020, Coca-Cola's head of sustainability, Bea Perez, said that Coca-Cola will not stop producing single-use plastics because consumers "still want them." She went on to say that it would alienate customers and impact Coca-Cola's bottom line. "Customers like them because they reseal and are lightweight."
Needless to say, this is a disheartening thing to hear from the person in charge of sustainability at one of the largest companies in the world. Coca-Cola is one of the worst contributors to plastic pollution, producing about three million tons of plastic packaging a year - equivalent to 200,000 bottles a minute.
In 2019, it was found to be the most polluting brand in a global audit of plastic waste by the charity Break Free from Plastic. Although Coca-Cola has made a pledge to recycle as many plastic bottles as possible by 2030, they are still flagrantly contributing to the world's plastic waste, at a time when our planet cannot afford for LITERALLY ANYONE to solely be concerned about their cash flow.
Coca-Cola is one of the most profitable companies in the world - they should be able to find a new, sustainable way to bottle their products to the satisfaction of their consumers. It's the least they can do. Tell Coca-Cola that you DO NOT want them to produce or sell plastic bottles. Sign and Share today to say NO to Coca-Cola's Plastic Plans.Read more

BTS is a popular KPOP band from South Korea. BTS has teamed up with Coca-Cola and will have special edition cans and bottles being sold at the end of this month. However, the cans and bottles are only available to purchase in South Korea. The products should be available in the United States as well due to the overwhelming amount of ARMYs that live here. They have 15.6 million followers on twitter and performed at the Billboard Music Awards this year. BTS is worldwide famous which is why the products should be sold worldwide. Thank you. Read more

The United States gives South Africa approximately 9.4 Billion Dollars in US aid. There is no record of where this money is directed. The South African Government vote 99% against the US in the UN, have violated the AGOA agreement by deliberately breaking every human rights law by changing their constitution to take land from the white minorities without compensation. They have further broken the international law and the Geneva Convention laws with this act. The South African government has openly threatened the US government and is in full support of Iran. They also support and have been hiding ISIS and other Muslim training camps within the country. Furthermore the South African Communist Party (SACP) an affiliate of the government ruling party demonstrated outside the US Embassy in Pretoria South Africa calling for the death of American Citizens. (One bullet one American) The removal of Apartheid 25 years ago and with a newly elected ANC government in 1994 has seen a massive decline of law and order. United Nations (UN) stats from 2012 state that South Africa has the highest murder rate of half a million people since 1994. The rape & corruption rate is the highest in the world. The South African Government has placed approximately one hundred and sixty four (164) laws discriminating against all minorities in the country mainly whites. We ask again why were Bill Gates, Ex-president Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Henry Kissinger, EX-Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, George Soros and the Clinton's doing there when the US gives South Africa 9.4 Billion in AID while they murder an average of 60 people a day and rape a female of any age every minute. The deliberate call for the killing of farmers by the South African politicians especially Julius Malema, Elias Ace Magashule, Andile Mngxitama and the denial by Cyril Ramaphosa (President) that this was the case, resulting in which has seen massive increase of torture, rape and murder. (One bullet one Boer (Farmer)) This inciting of murder lays all the blood spilled upon these political parties namely the EFF, BLF & ANC. The overwhelming evidence of massive corruption and the refusal of the government to arrest said party members. We demand full economic sanctions be placed with the immediate stop of all US aid to a country that has violated every human rights law known to modern man. We feel the African National Congress (ANC) government with their affiliates the South African Communist party and United Trade Union movement need to be removed by any means possible. They have failed the people of South Africa and the world due to their criminal activities and human rights violations. The US Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks needs to be recalled for supporting this evil agenda. EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO BELIEVES IN THE GOOD OF MAN, ALL EX- SOUTH AFRICANS NOW IS THE TIME NOT TO TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR LAND OF YOUR BIRTH IN ITS TIME OF NEED. SIGN THIS PETITION AND GIVE US A MANDATE TO REMOVE THIS EVIL ONCE AND FOR ALL. Read more

Our oceans are clogged with millions of tonnes of plastic waste that will not degrade for thousands of years. Plastic 6-pack rings represent pointless plastic waste — there are already completely biodegradable and compostable alternatives available, yet cheap, single-use plastic rings continue to be mass-produced at alarming rates.
It is no longer enough to hope that consumers will cut up and recycle plastic 6-pack rings, it is time for producers like Coca-Cola to stop mass-producing and using this harmful plastic packaging.
We’ve all seen the damage plastic waste is doing to our planet and our wildlife. Peanut the Turtle (pictured) was found in 1993, her shell permanently deformed by a plastic 6-pack ring which also prevented her organs from fully developing. More than two decades later, we are still needlessly churning this waste into the environment.
I’m asking Coca-Cola to stop using plastic 6-pack rings on their products. As industry leaders, Coca-Cola must step up and commit to sustainable packaging that’s 100% biodegradable and compostable.
No More Plastic 6-Pack Rings!
Consumers Want Sustainable Packaging!

In the few days since the transfer of power, Elon Musk’s Twitter has seen a rise in hate speech. Our enshrined right to Freedom of Speech is directly associated with our right to criticize the government. Businesses have a right to refuse individuals and organizations the right to spew hate speech. The two are not the same. We are on a precipice of morality that will decide if we will let hate win. Demand that the advertisers on Twitter demand that hate speech have no place on the platform. We are asking that a formal condemnation against hate speech on Twitter and a determination on if your company should continue to advertise on that platform.
Update: Due to the decision to lift the ban on Donald Trump. It is imperative that advertisers make a decision on where they stand. Will they be on the right side of history? Read more

Coca-Cola is the number one producer of plastic waste in the world. They own 500 brands. This petition is your promise to boycott Coca-Cola products for the month of February.
We are asking Coca-Cola to stop packaging their products in plastic, stop using BPA in their product packaging, stop using child labor, and invest in recycling infrastructure.
Plastic pollution is wrecking havoc on the ocean and on humans. Coca-Cola produces a ton of plastic, 3 million metric tons a year to be exact.
Coca-Cola does not care if they are hurting you or the environment. I spend a lot of my time up close and personal with plastic pollution.
Coca-Cola needs to lead by example and actually become a sustainable company with the interest of the planet in mind.
This is a call to action. We are asking Coca-Cola to be better. We the people have the power to force companies to be better. Let's use it. Read more

Fair Oaks Farms is one of the largest dairies and producers of dairy goods in the United States. Fair Oaks Farm in Indiana as of recently has been investigated by Animal Recovery Mission, an animal rights activist group. The horrific, video evidence shows baby calves being burned, beaten, stabbed, and mother cows crying out loud for their young ones. The video also shows employees growing and using illegal drugs on the farm itself. By signing this petition you will help the fight in preventing this kind of cruelty from going on any longer to these poor animals.

Coca Cola continues to be complicit in The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) genocide against the Uyghur people, now they are sponsoring the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The Olympics will be used by the CCP to spread positive propaganda and distract from the truth that they are committing genocide.
Despite warnings that business in the region puts companies at risk for complicity in the Uyghur genocide, Coca Cola has a bottling facility in Xinjiang, China. This plant is also supplied sugar by COFCO TUNHE, a Chinese company that has allegedly been involved in the coercion of minority groups into forced labor. In addition to their presence in the region and direct or indirect participation in forced labor, Coca-Cola lobbied to weaken the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, (which ultimately passed) meant to prevent importing goods at risk to be made with Uyghur forced labor, such as Coca-Cola products, into the United States.
This is not the first time Coca-Cola prioritized business interests with a genocidal regime over human rights. Coca-Cola collaborated with Hitler during World War II, had production plants in Nazi Germany, and even created the “Fanta” drink specifically for Nazi Germany after producing Coke was no longer possible as a result of the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917. Coca-Cola was also a sponsor of the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, despite boycott attempts of activists around the world.
Coca-Cola has been informed of how their sponsorship of the 2022 Olympics in Beijing makes them complicit in genocide. Still, they proceed. This company has a social responsibility to stop collaborating with oppressors and stand for human rights. It is imperative they do the following:
Pull their sponsorship from the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games.
Cease operations in Xinjiang China and with any supplier/partner with known connections to the Chinese government's enslavement and genocide of the Uyghurs.
