Dear John, 

My name is Sunjeev Bery, and I love starting petitions.
 
It's true! As a former MoveOn staff member, I have been behind the scenes
to see the power your signatures have in helping build communities, hold
people in power accountable, and win campaigns on a range of issues.
 
But, John, I now run Freedom Forward, an organization dedicated
to ending U.S. alliances with dictators, kings, and apartheid governments,
and I'm even more impressed with the MoveOn petition platform and
resources provided to grassroots activists like us!
 
[ [link removed] ]I encourage you to start your own petition on MoveOn's platform on any
issue that's important to you—from human rights to corporate
accountability to climate justice.
 
In the few months since I started using MoveOn's free petition platform,
tens of thousands of people have signed my petitions calling out human
rights abusers around the world. We've built an amazing community of
MoveOn members and made international headlines since a coalition we are
part of pressured the New York Public Library to cancel an event organized
by Saudi Arabia's brutal crown prince, Mohammad Bin Salman this fall.
 
Mobilizing thousands of supporters was amazing, John. And
MoveOn members like you didn't stop there. Every time I sent updates about
what else petition signers could do, I was encouraged to see positive
feedback from people making phone calls, posting on social media, and
showing up to events.
 
[ [link removed] ]As someone looking to build a new organization, I cannot tell you how
inspiring it has been to use MoveOn's petition platform. Think of the
issues you care about—from local to global—and start a petition today.
 
I know that MoveOn has limited resources, just as all organizations do,
and that's what makes me so excited to talk about the petition platform.
This is giving power directly to the people without needing to wait for
MoveOn to take the initiative to figure out what's happening in your own
community.
 
Thank you for listening to my story, and good luck with your petition!
