Subj: Subaru sells cars where women can&#39;t drive

Dear Kartono,

Amazing! Last week, a group of Saudi women activists started a Change.org petition calling on
Saudi authorities to drop charges against Manal al-Sharif, a woman arrested for driving her own
car. Days later, the charges were dropped!

Then, they launched a second petition calling on U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to speak
out for Saudi women's right to drive. Yesterday, Clinton declared, "What these women are doing is
brave, and what they are seeking is right," in a major press conference.

Now, the same Saudi women are launching their biggest campaign yet: calling on car company Subaru
to pull out of Saudi Arabia until women have the right to drive. Please click here to sign their
petition, then send this email to everyone you know:

Subaru markets heavily to women, especially in the U.S. and Europe -- and has built up a
progressive brand for itself. Yet the company still sells cars in Saudi Arabia, the only country on
earth where women are prohibited from driving or even riding a bike.

(The ban is a huge impediment for women who are forbidden to drive to work, stores, or even a
hospital. Many women can't afford male drivers, and those that can are often harassed by them.)

The activists at Saudi Women for Driving tell us, "Manal was released, Mrs. Clinton spoke out, and
some brave women have started driving in defiance of the ban. This is already the largest women's
rights movement in Saudi history and no one here knows what will happen next, but a big company
like Subaru pulling out could help change our country forever. Help us do it!"

It's simple: A massive campaign to push Subaru to pull out of Saudi Arabia -- and the threat that
they might leave -- will put huge pressure on the Saudi royal family and shine a bright light on
the "gender apartheid" in the country. It's a chance for the company to live up to its brand and
make a huge difference for nearly 13 million women.

Change.org members have already won more than 200 campaigns in 2011. Let's win this one, too.

Click here to stand with Saudi women and ask Subaru to pull out of Saudi Arabia until women win
the right to drive:
