Hey guys!
It's been over two months since MacGyver was cancelled and our fight continues stronger than ever.
First of all, I'd like to let you know about an issue we've been having with the petition.
Last month we lost about 3k signatures while today we lost 300 more. This happens because change/.org scans for unverified signatures.
When you sign a petition on change for the first time, they send you a verification email. You need to click on the link to verify your email and hence your signature.
You only have to do this once so please check your emails and see if you have received such an email from change/.org
Now on to our campaign!
Fans from all over the world are still fighting, giving it all they've got.
Join us on twitter if you can. It's where we're the most active and tweet using #SaveMacGyver.
We've trended multiple times over the last two months in different locations.
Here are the number of tweets we have under some hashtags we use:
#SaveMacGyver: 587.6k
#MacGyverOnNetflix: 71.6k
We have other things going on like our billboards.
The billboard committee is working on getting us new billboards in new locations.
If you want to help then please donate so we can raise money for projects like the billboards, advertisers, press kits and more.

We've already sent over 1.4 million paperclips to CBS. If you want to sent some, then you can order them via Amazon and mail them directly to George Cheeks. Or you can buy them from your local store and mail them through your local post office.
Here's the address:
George Cheeks, President and CEO CBS Entertainment group, ViacomCBS
1515 Broadway
52nd floor
New York, NY 10036
We've also started a postcard campaign. Fans will sent out postcards to George Cheeks to let him know that we're not giving up and that we want MacGyver back.
You can go to your local post office and buy some postcards, write your message and mail them. Or you can order them online and mail them directly through services like vistaprint.
We mail them to the same address as the paperclips.
Visit our website to find all the details on how you can participate in operation postcard.

Another thing we've been doing from the start is requesting the show on Netflix. We've reached over 300k requests.
It's really simple and you don't have to have a subscription.
Just go to this link:
https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest
and fill in all three title suggestions with: MacGyver (2016) season 6 - #SaveMacGyver
Then click submit suggestion.
You can do this as many times as you can. This way we'll show Netflix how much we want them to save the show and since they can see from which country we've been submitting our requests, they'll know we are a worldwide fandom.
Please remember to send out your emails daily.
Ask CBS to renew the show or sell the rights. Ask them to move MacGyver to Paramount+
Ask Paramount+ to pick up the show.
Ask Netflix to do the same.
