    Yeah, nah.

    Petition these people:

    Collective Shout is sustained by a small number of Australian partners. These are not big groups, and would quickly pull funding under any sort of pressure.

    Collective Shout has a deep history with Christofascism and TERFs, so highlighting those angles is the way to go to get them pariahed. Once CS is out of the picture, we can work on undoing the damage they did.

      This is incredibly shortsighted.

      If you get Collective Shout to stop, another group might pick up where they left off.

      The problem needs to be fixed, what you’re suggesting is just making the people currently abusing it stop doing so. That’s not a long term solution.

        No it’s incredibly idiotic to do otherwise.

        You don’t fight a fire while the arsonist is still setting it on fire.

      Petitioning people to do something that is against their entire purpose doesn’t seem like it would be effective.

        I think the idea is to pressure the partners of Collective Shout, per the url in the comment. Those might not necessarily agree with what they’re doing in this case, and if they see it’s making waves, reconsider their partnership.

          Looking at the partners on that page, I think at least half of them are more than okay with Collective Shout’s actions.
