Change.org is a website which allows users to create and sign petitions in an attempt[3] to advance various social causes by raising awareness and influencing decision-makers. The site is a US-based for-profit company and claims to have nearly 500 million users as of December 2022.[4][5] Petitions often focus on causes such as general justice, economic justice, criminal justice, human rights, education, environmental protection, animal rights, health, and sustainable food.

The site also provides support and coaching for organizations and paid members to help further advance their causes.[5]
