Can Saudi Women Deliver Your Signature?

Saudi women will soon drive to Subaru and deliver their petition. Can they add your name?

This week, a group of Saudi women are once again defying the driving ban -- this time to drive to Saudi Subaru and hand-deliver their Change.org petition asking the company to stop selling cars in a country where women are forbidden to drive.

The effort will expose these brave women to tremendous personal risk: Since Saudi women launched their right-to-drive campaign on June 17, threats against women activists -- in mosques, on the street, and in the media -- have been growing at a scary pace. But it's a cause they believe in.

More than 50,000 people around the world have already signed the petition to reinforce Saudi women’s resolve and courage -- and remind Saudi Arabia and Subaru that the world is watching.

Click here to add your name to Saudi Women for Driving's remarkable Subaru petition in time for their petition delivery.

Over the last few months, Saudi women have made great strides -- in large part thanks to the overwhelming support of people taking action through Change.org.

We are now all part of the largest Saudi women's rights movement in history. And getting Subaru, a company which markets itself heavily to women in the U.S. and Europe, to pull out of the country will only make it bigger.

Please sign here to continue supporting Saudi women and keep the right-to-drive campaign moving forward:
