Change.org

Change.org is a leading global online advocacy platform that empowers individuals and organizations to launch and promote social, political, and environmental campaigns through public petitions. Founded in 2007, the platform has grown to become one of the most visited civic engagement sites on the internet, serving hundreds of millions of users across nearly every country worldwide. The site’s core mission is to democratize activism by lowering barriers to participation, allowing anyone with an internet connection to create a petition at no cost, share it across social media, and deliver demands directly to decision-makers including politicians, corporate leaders, and public officials. Many high-profile campaigns on Change.org have resulted in tangible policy changes, corporate accountability actions, and social justice wins, ranging from local community issues to global movements for human rights and climate action. The platform operates on a model that combines free access for petition creators with fundraising tools for campaigns and premium features for organizational users, while maintaining a commitment to free expression and open advocacy. Registered in 1995, the domain has a long history that predates the current platform’s launch, and today it ranks among the top 1000 most visited websites globally, reflecting its widespread reach and ongoing relevance to global civic discourse.
