It surfaced on a few local news Facebook pages and then quickly began growing signatories from 15k - 30k then -60k in 24 hours. I’d argue worth covering for the viral element. Unlike a randomly viral old photo this thing was moving fast. We reached out to organizers but no dice.
definitely agree on the worth covering for the viral element part. But why not say that to readers? "The petition is a year-old" (which you did) "but gained new steam this week after x, y, z."

Totally good to pack as much as the sausage-making curiosity in there. Sometimes it’s unclear, esp this one. Almost wondering if it started in some private FB group, but can’t pin that down. You’re not wrong!
