Change.org is a petition site, set up in the standard issue Silicon Valley tech company mould and run as such until a few weeks ago. Its mission is ostensibly to empower large amounts of people to take action on issues they care about and ideally help people along their journeys to being activists and leaders by being an easy entry point. I never really bought into that fully because at the end of the day this was a company, taking VC funding, reporting to shareholders and prioritising growth. The way it was established, the way it was run meant that it was engaging in social change as a side effect, not as core business.
