Dogwood was
the co-sponsor of this petition, on rare occasions we partner with other
organizations who align with us in order to make our petition stronger.
That is why you are receiving a follow-up email from Dogwood. We tried
to make this very transparent by stating it right below the "Sign the
Petition" button, and we give everyone the opportunity to opt out with
the Edit Subscription Preferences button in the same area. We'll keep
exploring ways to make sure it's clear to everyone, as we take your data
extremely seriously, and we know you do too. In the meantime, you can
unsubscribe from any Dogwood communications at the bottom of their
emails and as per your request, we can remove you from any further
OpenMedia communications if that's still what you would like. <br><br>Thanks
so much for your support - Right to Repair is an issue that we're
passionate about and we know our community is, too. Please feel free to
let us know if you have any questions or any other feedback in the
meantime. <br><br>Take care, <br>Devon <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Sounds to me like "there is an opt-out button, but damn if we can find it..."</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 4, 2022 at 8:58 PM Znoteer via kwlug-disc <<a href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org" target="_blank">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">In line...<br>
