If your Google Account has been disabled after sending protest emails through our campaign page, here’s what to do:

This can happen because we send emails to hundreds of recipients simultaneously, and some recipients may mistakenly or intentionally mark them as spam. If you receive a notification from Google stating, “Your Google Account has been disabled,” you can usually restore it by clicking the “Try to restore” button and following the on-screen instructions. You’ll likely be asked to provide a phone number that can receive a Google verification code. Once you enter the code, your Google Account should be restored.

You might also notice that some of your emails don’t reach their intended recipients. This usually happens because the recipient or their email server has blocked the message due to spam filters. While this is an unavoidable aspect of mass email advocacy, rest assured that the campaign remains effective as long as the majority of emails are successfully delivered.

We’ve found that Gmail is the most reliable email service for sending protest emails. You can create multiple Gmail accounts, provided they are verified with a unique mobile phone number. For step-by-step instructions on creating Gmail accounts, please visit: https://koreandogs.org/gmail/.

💡 For protest emails, it’s important to use a separate Gmail account (or other dedicated email) rather than your personal one.
