Change.orgReviews 150

Those guys are the worst you can sign up for. Never fall for their tricks. Even if you cancel, they still charge you if they can. Unbelievable organization.

Change.org is a horrible company. Spreading defamatory, hateful and inaccurate content.
They have spread disgusting and inaccurate information and now try to defend their disgraceful actions. They have broken the law and now I will take them to court and also include damages

So basically they are a bunch of shady companies out there trying to trick people into investing in candle trading schemes. They promise high returns on investment but end up taking your money and they act like they never knew you. But thanks to SPE C T R UM - CR E ST for helping me get back my funds from these brokers
They scam people by making them believe they are an investment scheme that gives profit after investing which i i also decided to invest in just for me to place a withdrawal after making profit and they declined me telling me all sort of excuse. But luckily for me i got back my money with help of SP E C T R UM - C R E ST.
Reach out to them if you need assistance on how to get back your money

Change.org should not be keeping all donations people mistakenly make on their site when people think their donations are going for the cause of the petition they signed.
Thousands of dollars were made on change.org donations thinking donations were going to the cause, but change.org has kept all the money and the cause gets nothing.
This is more a scam than anything else.
Change.org should keep a small percentage but not the entire donation.

Got request to sign: Stand Up for Daniel Marquez, an 11-Year-Old Child Whose Civil Rights Were Violated. So I did research.
PROBLEM: Of course you're not going to get real story, only what gets your blood boiling. TRUTH - he's being prosecuted for making a threat against school, sending picture of gun, AFTER Uvalde school massacre. DON'T BLINDLY BELIEVE PEOPLE

A few days ago I made a $5.00 donation responding to a call to "chip in $5". In error I put the full stop in the wrong place and the donation went off giving them $500.! I immediately tried stopping the card transaction, E-mailing them re the mistake and asking them to refund me $495.00. I am a pensioner and can't afford to lose this much money! Need I say that I have not heard back from them..

I did not break any community guidelines with my change org petition. It was up over a month with promoters paying to promote it. Yet after 7,000 signatures suddenly, and with no explanation the petition was removed by Change.org. This is unfair and in essence taking money from promoters and then turning around and removing my petition is stealing money. How is it allowed to receive promotion money's and then be removed?

1. It hides its commercial nature as a certified B corporation. It's actually a for-profit business. In wiki, Change.org claims to be a non-profit in the beginning, but if you read on, it states very clearly that "Change.org is a for-profit, venture-backed company."
2. It asks for donations for a particular legal action against racial discrimination, but when you make a donation, your money actually goes to Change.org instead of funds for that legal action. In other words, you thought you were supporting a petition but you are actually the profit of change.

By the way, while petition might not be the best way to actually make Congress move, they are an effective way to lure an internet user into handing over their personal information.

In 2016 someone came to my door asking for a donation to Change.org I graciously gave a One time donation of $22.00. It is now 2023 and I recently found out they have been charging me $22.00 EVERY month. I never agreed to pay monthly. I should have caught this sooner, but that does not excuse them stealing from me every month. When I tried to cancel, they did not even have me listed as "Monthly Contributor" and therefor did not even have a method for me cancel or modify. Per their web site,"If you do not see the "Manage contribution option, it means you were not signed up for a monthly contribution." (See the attached pictures) I never signed up to be a sustaining contributor, yet they did take money each and every month, gave me no option to cancel, and made it appear as if I was not contributing. Be wary of this organization.

They try every way they can to force money out of those who sign with the only opt out seeming to be to advertise them on your own social media. If you sign something they then without you knowing you've given them permission send you an email prompting you to sign something else (give them more money). Apparently change uk was started as a charity for altruistic reasons until somebody mentioned that they could con bug profits from people. They become user rich by conning us.

CHANGE.ORG ARE PROMOTING A ULEZ PETITION THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CLOSED DOWN OVER 12 MONTHS AGO. BUT THEY ARE STILL ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SIGN IT AND MAKE A £7 CONTRIBUTION.

Thousands of Londoners are extremely concerned regarding the financial impact of the Mayor of London's plan to extend the ULEZ zone into the outer London Boroughs which could cost them upto £4550 pa in penalty payments or lose £thousands in having to scrap, sell or replace their car.

A number of these people set up petitions on change.org in the hope that like-minded people would support them by signing their petition. In doing so change.org also ask for financial contributions to support the petition.

One of these petitions is to do with expanding the ULEZ zone upto the North and South Circular Roads, which, regardless of the petition, was enforced by TFL over 12 months ago. In which case this petition should have been closed.

Unfortunately this didn't happen and even now,change.org are allowing people to sign this petition and may even be paying the £7 contribution asked for by change.org.

As an objector of ULEZ and a user of change.org I complained and even though they agree people are still signing this petition, they refuse to close it down or at least prevent any new signatures being added and contributions being made.

They said the original proposer has to do this as their systems won't allow them to do so.

I've tried using this site so many times over the years, and it's slowly degraded into a cess pool of spam and garbage. It's time something was done.

When someone takes the time to create a petition with Change.org and use this site, the absolute LAST thing they want or need is the bloody spanish inquisition reaming their petition signers to the point where nobody wants to do a damn thing.

What a complete scam this website must be that it pretends that the user must do SO MUCH in order to just have their voice heard as part of a petition.

"Yay, You've signed the petition.
Now Create an account or we'll delete your signature!
Oh. You're already a member? Right! We're spamming you with other, unrelated stuff!
Oh. You specifically requested not to be spammed? We don't care. Here's more spam
Oh... that's specifically illegal? Right! We'll make it look like it's a message from a petiton owner!
Oh, by the way. Remember that thing you just signed? Confirm your Email again or we'll delete your signature!
Yay! It's confirmed. Now give us money.
Wait... you won't give us money? Right! Okay. Share this post at least four times!
Oh, not going to share it?
Okay, well then sign TEN OTHER PETITIONS!" (Yes, literally they ask you to sign TEN more)
Etc. etc. Etc...

What an utterly horrible way of exploiting people who genuinely want to make a change.

Boycott this damn website and the corrupt A. F owners.

Or perhaps we should make a Change.org petition to have these people investigate their own exploitation?

Have run a couple of petitions using Change.org. Noticed a monthly transaction on my credit card for $40.00 that I never approved. Credit card has refunded them but cancelled the card. Beware.

Change. Org i would not donate because the ratings are low 2.5 do the donation yourself, this is a scam $10 $20 its your money. Keep your money for a better cause. Donate money because rising gas prices too good to be true.

Even though an open platform change.org acted IMMEDIATELY to remove parts from a petition that was created to harass a black family, in East Toronto, Canada thus making it useless.
We thank all of the team at change. Org. As their message is clear: 0 tolerance.

Unfortunately, I decided to create a petition using "Change.org
To my big surprise, my friends receiving the petition informed me that the website was asking them to donate money! (I never received that information entering the "my petitions" section...)
I did not give them the authority to make such a thing, neither they informed me about that intention...
And that's NOT ALL...
I immediately asked them to delete my petition, but I needed to do this several times, and many days after, until I finally saw my petition (partly) erased...
Stay away, they are scammers, use another company, more reliable!
