VICTORIES

Every day, Change.org members win people-powered campaigns for social change

We believe that building momentum for social change globally means empowering citizen activists locally -- and that the influence of a local victory is always much larger than the change it immediately achieves. Using this community-driven model, Change.org members have won hundreds of campaigns and are together building a powerful movement that is rapidly spanning the globe.

Here's how we win together: Someone, somewhere, starts a petition. Change.org members spread the word over Facebook, Twitter, email, and blogs. Momentum builds as the target of the petition is flooded with messages calling for change.

With the support of Change.org's team of organizers, members then increase pressure via phone calls, in-person events, media exposure, and other grassroots tactics to drive the campaign to victory.
