Change.org is a website which allows users to create and sign petitions 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.

The effectiveness of online petitions over the past decade is undeniable. They have obliterated geographical constraints, uniting people worldwide under various causes. Every digital signature is a testament to a petition's influence, collectively pressuring policymakers to take notice and act.

Petitioning the federal government for change is a right protected by the First Amendment. Under President Obama's administration, the White House launched a petition website called “We The People.” Any petition submitted with at least 100,000 signatures would receive a formal response.
