    Yeah, nah.

    Petition these people:

    https://www.collectiveshout.org/partners

    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.

      It’s the height of stupidity to try to pressure collective shout.

      You don’t tell the child to stop drawing on the wall for the 20th time and expect it to work.

      You take it’s crayons away so it can’t anymore.

      You fix the tool of abuse so it can’t be abused.

        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.

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

        Not only that, they’ll get louder claiming they’re being oppressed. Ignore them.
