450 Signatures and Counting! Our Call for Accountability Is Growing! 🐾

We're at 450 signatures!!! Just 50 more to reach 500! 🎉🐾

First, THANK YOU to everyone who has signed, shared, and helped bring attention to these very real concerns. Every signature represents another voice calling for greater accountability, transparency, and stronger protections for animals and our communities.

This is my first time using Change.org, and something I've since learned is that making a monetary contribution to promote a petition helps increase its visibility and its reach to more people.

If you're in a position to contribute toward promoting the petition, even a small amount may help expand its reach. Even $2. But please know that a monetary contribution is absolutely NOT necessary. Signing, sharing, and encouraging others to get involved are incredibly valuable ways to support this effort.

And I want to emphasize something important:

We're starting with Nextdoor, but we're not stopping there.

What should be a platform built around neighborhood trust, connection, and safety has increasingly become a place where people with questionable, and even harmful, intentions can exploit the very communities it's supposed to protect.

Even more troubling, some of these concerns extend to members of Nextdoor's own Review Teams - individuals entrusted with upholding the very Community Guidelines they're expected to enforce.

The problems involving backyard breeding, unsafe and irresponsible rehoming, animal exploitation, questionable and fraudulent rescue practices, fake profiles, inconsistent and potentially biased moderation, inadequate oversight, and an alarmingly ineffective Support system extend well beyond one social media platform.

And that's precisely why this matters.

When platforms fail to enforce their own policies, adequately investigate legitimate complaints, or hold those entrusted with moderation accountable, they create opportunities for exploitation, misconduct, and harm - while leaving concerned community members feeling powerless and unheard.

We're starting with Nextdoor. But the need for meaningful reform extends much further.

Facebook and other platforms are also part of the bigger picture. But right now, our focus is on getting Nextdoor's leadership to meaningfully acknowledge and address the serious concerns being brought to their attention.

We need stronger safeguards, greater transparency, meaningful accountability, and platforms that take these concerns seriously rather than allowing harmful practices to continue unchecked.

This is about REAL animals. REAL people. REAL communities. And REAL consequences.

500 signatures will be an exciting milestone, but it's not the finish line. Meaningful change is the goal.

And the more voices we bring together, the harder these concerns become to ignore.

Please keep signing, sharing, and spreading the word. If you've experienced or witnessed concerning practices on these platforms, please continue speaking up and documenting your experiences.

Thank you for standing with us. ❤️

Please continue sharing. Every signature strengthens our collective voice and brings us closer to getting these concerns the attention, accountability, and meaningful action they deserve!

We're just getting started.
