CitizenGo

CitizenGO is an ultraconservative advocacy group founded in Madrid, Spain, in 2013 by the ultra-Catholic HazteOir organization.
The foundation promotes petitions in 50 countries, mostly defending Christian and Catholic causes, and those opposing same-sex marriage, abortion, and euthanasia.
History.
CitizenGO was founded in Madrid, Spain, in September 2013 by HazteOir to expand its scope of action beyond Spanish-speaking countries, advancing the use of online petitions as a form of Internet activism to increase public participation in the democratic process. CitizenGO says that they have "team members located in fifteen cities on three continents" who facilitate users signing petitions in 50 countries and 8 languages, with plans to add more. The CitizenGO Foundation is financially supported by online donations made by their members. The CEO of CitizenGO is Álvaro Zulueta. The CitizenGO Foundation Board of Trustees is composed of Ignacio Arsuaga (founder and president), Walter Hintz, Blanca Escobar, Luca Volonte (Unione dei Democratici Cristiani politician), Brian S. Brown (president of the anti-LGBT rights National Organization for Marriage), Gualberto García, Alexey Komov (a member of the Christian right World Congress of Families considered an ally of Vladimir Putin), Alejandro Bermudez, and John-Henry Westen.
In 2001, lawyer Ignacio Arsuaga founded HazteOir (literally, "Make yourself heard"). This organization later merged into and became part of CitizenGO, a move that was considered a "rebranding".
The foundation has been linked, like HazteOir, to El Yunque, a secret society of Mexican regional origin.
Activities.
Abortion and euthanasia.
CitizenGO promotes campaigns opposing abortion and euthanasia. CitizenGo has opposed the introduction of the "Estrela report" into the European parliament, which recommends member states to provide comprehensive sex education in schools and ensure access to abortions, among other things.
In late May 2019, CitizenGo hosted a petition by "Right to Life" calling on streaming service Netflix to stop funding a legal challenge to Georgia's controversial Heartbeat abortion restriction bill. The group also called for subscribers to cancel their Netflix subscription as a sign of protest.
It has also supported Ann Kioko's campaign to investigate Marie Stopes. After Kioko was put on trial CitizenGo utilized their platform to promote the idea that the Kenyan government wants to censor the protests of CitizenGo and other Pro-Life outlets.
"Second Coming" comic series.
In February 2019, CitizenGo organized a petition calling on DC Vertigo to cancel Mark Russell and Richard Pace's "Second Coming" comic series, which they regarded as blasphemous for its depiction of Jesus Christ. Russell subsequently confirm that it had been his decision to request the return of the rights to the series.
2019 Disneyland "Magical Parade".
In late May 2018, CitizenGo circulated a petition calling on Disneyland Paris to cancel a scheduled pride parade called the "Magical Parade" on 1 June 2019. The Walt Disney Company rejected the petition and the Magical Parade went ahead in Paris.
LGBT rights in Kenya.
CitizenGo Africa opposes decriminalising homosexuality in Kenya.
