MoveOn members start and sign petitions every day. Learn more about how
these people-powered petitions make an impact and and how to start your
own campaign.Dear John, 

When I learned that Costco was selling millions of dollars worth of
MyPillow products, I was overwhelmed with confusion, disappointment, and
anger. I love Costco and am a regular customer, but MyPillow CEO Mike
Lindell is a massive supporter of far-right political activity and pushes
conspiracy theories, including those espoused by the mob that stormed the
U.S. Capitol.

I didn’t want one of my favorite companies, Costco, helping right-wing
extremists make millions of dollars—especially as the gravity of the
attack on the Capitol grew more clear by the day.

That’s when I thought of MoveOn and—inspired by previous experiences
signing petitions—decided to [ [link removed] ]start a petition of my own in January.

Within weeks, my petition grew to tens of thousands of signatures from
people across the country, and over 250,000 MoveOn members signed onto my
campaign in the following months. In April, I burst out in simultaneous
laughter and tears of joy when I heard the good news that Costco stores
stopped selling MyPillow products!^1

This would not have been possible without the help of MoveOn members and
our collective power. For that, I am eternally grateful.

[ [link removed] ]I encourage you and all MoveOn members to find something that motivates
you to start your own petition.

It’s incredibly frustrating at times for me to be living in a “red” state
and unsure of who else will share my progressive values. It’s also
frustrating to see the national news about how Congress is often slow to
act on such massive problems as the rising cost of health care, obstacles
to voting rights, fixing racism in the criminal justice system, and
implementing immediate action on climate change.

However, my incredible experience working with MoveOn’s team and the free
petition platform made the process of promoting and winning my campaign a
lot more rewarding than I could have ever imagined.

Thank you to the hundreds of thousands of MoveOn members who signed my
petition, and remember that each of us has the power to create change when
we work together.

president! Now, it's time to expand access to health care, fight for
citizenship for the undocumented, reform policing, and tackle the climate
