Change.orgReviews 150

Gave one off donation to causes that concerned me ie conservation issues in Australia, and then found out I was contributing $ 40 per month

I wrote a petition to arrest Dr. Anthony Fauci for crimes against humanity. Specifically, it addressed his withholding hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin from prescribing physicians for early treatment of Covid. Instead Fauci pushed remdesiver, which caused kidney failure and subsequent pulmonary edema. Thousands needlessly died as a result. This blackballing of the two drugs which could have saved lives and the use of the deadly remdesiver was driven by economic interests.

Change deleted my petition on the grounds that it violated community standards, namely that it spoke the truth against the Facebook party line of deception.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Change.org censors the important petitions of those who fight against the dangerous and irresponsible pro-pitbull activists.
They literally don't give a $#*! about bully breed type of dogs maiming, harming and potentially killing innocent people; adults, handicapped people and elderly people alike.

They also scam customers an masse, specifically those whom are giving Change.org one-time donations. People are basically charged monthly without their consent.

I was tricked into monthly payment plan without my consent after paying a one-time donation. However, this was a long time ago, and it's good to know I am not alone, but I hope change pays people back their money!

This must be some kind of scam. I never even remembered signing up to paying them $14 per month and they keep charging me even though I cancelled the questionable subscription. Stop charging me.

I donated money to a petition as I don't have social media, and it was a cause that I believe in. I got an email notification that confirmed a single one off donation. At the exact same time I received another email with the same subject heading so i did not notice that in fact two different confirmation emails had been sent. It was an email saying that I'd set up a monthly donation. Logging into change.org there is no record of my monthly standing order so I had to cancel via PayPal. I have tried to contact Change.org twice now for a refund and they've not responded. It is not a charity, its is a scam. I did not knowingly agree to pay monthly donations to change.org (a for profit company that doesn't appear to do anything really other than host random binary opinion polls). I have attached the two screenshots of the emails that were sent, the first confirming a one off payment and the second thanking me that I'd set up a monthly donation.

Good thing I locked my debit card. I've been getting bank notices that transactions couldn't be processed due to my card being locked. I take a look and it's numerous attempted transactions from change.org. I don't recall giving them my card number or making any donations recently to change.org. So these guys need to be reported. I'm keeping my debit card locked so no more weird looking transactions that I didn't approve.

It's kind of messed up people can get rich off of creating a website like this... How is this legal?

I know I signed a few petitions on banning pit bulls because of how murderous, violent and dangerous they are.
I'm not one to donate money online, but for the first time I was like "why not". I donated, and today I realized I was being charged 3 dollars for the last 3 months and I didn't understand why. Furthermore, I didn't sign up for a membership. I don't even know how. I haven't even been on, Change since I lasted signed a petition.

A good deed turned a bad fee. I may not use the platform anymore because of that trick they played. Sorry I'm all for change but if Change wants to short change me then there is no change.

Well, I've learned a few things today about Change.org's practises. I did not know it was a for self profit company and I am appalled by money being taken without consent. I've have been signing petitions on there for ages and like everyone else I became a 'member' and I don't how. I always make comments when invited to. Now, I find that some of my comments have been removed - no warning, no email, just gone. It's no biggie in the grand scale of things just extremely rude. I don't want to waste any more time ploughing through emails, reading and signing petitions only to find my input removed. I will cancel my 'membership' and stick to 38degrees.org.uk who are an upright, not for profit outfit with scruples.

Do not bother wasting your time. More than 700 people signed the petition and it displayed 56 signatures.

I appreciate Change.org, and have been signing petitions on the website for years. However, I have one major critique: the website makes it difficult for people who want to read the entire petition before signing. I receive emails asking me to sign petitions, and these emails include a one-click sign button, meaning that if a person accidentally clicks on that button, then they automatically sign the petition and it is difficult to remove their signature. Additionally, after signing a petition, people are asked to sign more petitions, whose titles are shown, but people have to click a couple of extra times to read the full petition. I would greatly prefer it if Change.org would encourage people to read the full text of the petitions they are signing, rather than pushing people to sign as many petitions as possible.

I found out they were charging me every month for what I thought was a 1-time donation. And I don't even know what the charge is going to? It doesn't seem like there is any fund for the cause I signed the petition fund. So I guess they are just keeping all the money. What a scam site. I don't know how this is legal.

This company- private for profit, not public non profit - has a curious way of turning one off donations into monthly charges on your credit card. Impossible to cancel. Almost impossible to contact. Use them at your peril as I have discovered.

Looking for a great website that supports the causes of what is most important to people and their passions? Then Change.org is not the place you want to go. With their biased views and hatred for freedom of speech, they will take down any petition they deem 'inappropriate', and without notice or an explanation why! Would your petition for a cause you care about be with good intentions, no insults nor harsh language? Oh well! Change.org doesn't care! They only care about what money they can rake in from people with good intentions and silence those whom they do not agree with. It doesn't matter to them! Any petition! Any cause! They will shut you down if you do not share the same beliefs. Find a better credible source for your passions and skip the hate dribbling idiots from Change.org

I am absolutely disgusted as they deleted my petition because some snowflake got offended by it, I put a lot of money, time and effort into it, my petition was getting quite popular but change.org being biased decided that they were going to side with the special snowflake(s) and completely torn it down, the thing is I never swore, I was mildly blunt and only stated some issues. Freedom of speech does not apply on there clearly. This website is a load of codswallop and will only cater for the weak minded childish part of society.

NEVER give these people any money. These people are crooks. I lost $25 after trying to promote my petition and then they pulled it with no explanation. These people masquerade as idealists. They must have corporate owners with an agenda.

Please can you remove step 3. I am sick and tired of skipping the top 10 most clicked changes i can make and having to go back all the way to the beggining and retype what is important to me. Alot of the stuff in the top 10 list i have seen over and over again most of the time i dont care. It would be nice if there was a list of subjects for me i am looking for with one step clicks instead of going through payment and social media options. Perhaps there is a button we can click to remove for our own personal reference such as getting rid of payment options and social media options. Im not alowed on social media anymore as my work doesnt allow it, and with my savings i cant afford to chip in $ here and there
