Change.org
The #1 platform for starting and winning change campaigns
About Change.org
Change.org is the world's largest digital petition platform, where individuals and groups start campaigns for social, political and environmental change. Anyone can create a petition in minutes, gather support from a community of millions of signers, and push decision-makers — governments, corporations and public institutions — to respond.
The platform combines self-service petition tools with proven campaign mechanics: petitions that reach critical mass are escalated to the attention of the people in power, and campaigners are guided from the first signature to declaring victory. Change.org operates worldwide, with campaigns in dozens of languages and a mobile app that puts petitioning in people's pockets.
The business operates as a public-benefit corporation that keeps the core petition service free, funded by optional promoted campaigns from NGOs, brands and causes, plus donations from supporters of the platform itself.
