FAQ
About Stand.earth
Stand.earth is an international organization with offices in Canada and the United States. We challenge corporations and governments to treat people and the environment with respect. We were founded nearly twenty years ago by a group of dedicated people who were working day in and day out to solve a big problem: What do you do when the health and foundation of communities and their environment are being undermined? Over the years, our work and our approach has evolved from a dedicated focus on forest protection to taking on some of the root causes of climate change and environmental injustice.

While most of our actions are hosted on our own platform, we do occasionally partner with other organizations for joint actions and generate a higher number of petition signatures. For example, on our own we would have been able to generate 12,000 signatures for a petition to Biden – because of the support of other organizations we were able to generate more than 125,000, making our call to action that much stronger when we delivered the petition signatures.
We definitely sympathize with the inbox overload problem. Rest assured, these types of actions are not, and will not become our primary form of changing this world for the better. You can easily opt-out of any coalition emails like this by updating your preferences here.
