Welcome to SumOfUs, a global movement uniting together to demand that corporations put people and animals over profits!
Two and a half years ago, SumOfUs started a petition asking the California to ban orca captivity from SeaWorld and other companies that imprison animals for the sakes of profits. And we won! Last week, California did exactly what 1.7 million SumOfUs members asked it to do -- to sign the “Blackfish Bill” -- and freeing our whales from suffering.
We couldn’t have done it without our members. We funded activists to deliver your message straight to the California legislature, we produced a video game to show exactly how bored a whale can get in captivity. But most importantly, its millions of SumOfUs members sharing the petition with their networks relentlessly until SeaWorld banned its orca program a few months ago, and California signed its bill.
