From the board wide forum rules:

> [@Terms of Service and FAQ](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/terms-of-service-and-faq/823562/2):
>
> **Calls to Action** - Do not instigate members to take action for or against any issue or entity. Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or any other personally identifiable information of any entity in this regard. Threads calling for folks to take actions (political, charitable, personal, etc.) are prohibited unless there is prior approval from a moderator or administrator.

There has been quite a bit of this in the thread. It’s fast moving, and people are obviously interested in the topic. I think people can figure out if they want to take additional action on their own. The purpose of the board is one of discussion, not a mechanism for calls to action.

There is a fine line to be sure, and I’m only quoting this one post because it was the most recent. **But as a note to everyone, please avoid calls to action such as this.**
