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.
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
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
I have used the service for petitions and find the staff and support very helpful. I have also made some great connections with people who share similar views about important social issues.
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.
I FIRST STARTED OUT, WITH 63 SIGNERS, THAT WAS QUICKLY REDUCED 2 JUST 2. I HAD 2 JOIN, THEIR TROUBLE SHOOTING WEBSITE, WHICH PROVED 2 B USELESS. I IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED MY CREDIT CARD.THE SIGNERS WERE RELATIVES & FRIENDS. I HOPE, THAT I'VE BEEN OF HELP
Tip for consumers:
THERE MUST B SOMETHING BETTER,OUT THERE.THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT ,PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN TEAM & THEREIN ,LIES THE PROBLEM.
I've asked this company to unsubscribe me 7 times and every time it says "server is misbehaving " wtf! I'm ready to start a petition against them. Please just unsubscribe me!
change.org allows registering minors under 12 to post anything about anyone violating the rights of others. This kind of sites should prohibit access to minors whose doesn’t know about law
The Ruth Chris Steak House Petition is BAD AND MISLEADING! What they aren't telling people is how they had to Lay Off all of their employees but they are STILL PAYING THEM THROUGH THE COVID 19 SHUT DOWN! SHAME ON YOU J HOWARD FOR BEING SO IGNORANT! OUR DAUGHTERS HAVE WORKED THERE FOR YEARS
I was so upset at the killing of HARABE ( REST IN PEACE and known you have changed the world!) that I ( against intellectual judgement) decided to sign the petition. Feeling good about this support, I was immediately disturbed at the next page asking for a donation, with a sympathetic claim that a donation could make a difference.
This prompted me to start a petition for CHILD ENDANGERMENT charges against the parents of the boy who fell in with HARABE because of the allegations they may seek damages ( sue the zoo) for the zoo not preventing the boy from accessing the area.
Week, guess who was not allowed to start a petition for this cause.
SHAME ON YOU change.org. You money grubbing bastards!
I hope someday there will be a petition to shut you down and then finally a good change will prevail.
Hello, thank you for the feedback; I am very sorry to read that you had trouble creating a petition about this cause. This is not something that we would block based on the information that you have provided. It sounds like there may have been a technical issue. If you are still interested and having trouble creating a petition, please contact our Help Center at help.change.org. We'll take a look and figure out what could be causing the issue. Thanks! Zo
Although Change.org purports to advocate positive change it should make an effort to at least get the facts straight when it posts a petition. They posted a petition about a mother being charged with vehicular homicide in the death of her child which occurred while she was crossing a dark road outside of the crosswalk with several children. A person hit them and kept going. The driver turned himself in a couple of days later and pled guilty to hit and run. The mother was charged with misdemeanor charges and prosecuted by the Solicitor General's Office. The petition named the District Attorney by name and his office instead of correctly identifying the prosecuting authority. We cannot get in touch or get a reply from anyone at Change.org to correct this and it has greatly impacted our ability to do business due to all the folks calling and emailing about a case that we had no authority over. If they will not correct this error then how many other errors are there in the "petitions" they are creating?
I was just given the opportunity to sign a petition asking that the health care system pay for items like false breasts and such for persons who identify with the opposite gender but don't choose to have the surgery.
This peeves me no end and I'll tell you why. I have MS and if the day comes when I need to use a wheelchair, I'll have to pay for it myself. I have to use catheters to urinate and I have to pay for them myself. Liberal PM Paul Martin rejigged the eligibility criteria for getting a CPP disability pension so that only persons who'd gotten disabled very quickly and had been making CPP payments in full could apply. That left me ineligible because, being honest, I'd gone on working part time as long as I could.
So I won't be signing change.org petitions in future either, as I know from my own unpleasant experience that this was an uninformed petition. How many that I signed were similarly false?
Just want to clarify my review. I'm Canadian and the petition that peeved me so much was directed at the Canadian health care system.
I have contacted this organization multiple times to remove content from their website they are not authorized to use. They have not returned phone calls or emails.
This Change .org is a bias and bigoted organisation with selective groups allowing what petitions they want and they discriminate against others i have never been the victim of so much prejudice Which is a breach of Articles 19 and 30 Of the UDHR And Australia's Constitution
Sorry there is no box for zero star - so selected the lowest
The intention is good, but exercution id pt-poor
It is nearly impossible to post a pertition.
It is nearly, no - impossible to get tech-assistant.
It is disigned to discurage people from submitting a pertion.
One can say that this site may be funded by the the fed to discourage people from speaking up / out.
Trying to sign up for this has been very difficult. It is very sad to say that I am unable to sign up for and support this cause due to the roadblocks this site has put up.
Hello Tyler, I am very sorry to hear about the trouble you are experiencing with Change.org. If you haven't already done so, please contact our Help Team at https://help.change.org. We're standing by to help you.
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?
Tip for consumers:
Find another site.
You can tell simply by looking at the number of people who actually make it all the way to signing that this site is going downhill.
Force their hand and make them change.
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. What a scam. They trick you into a payment that becomes a monthly subscription that is impossible to change. You have to cancel your credit card.
Avoid at all costs!
Don't get impressed by bogous websites. Who use name's of our hero's and appeal you. I appeal all of you to verify reviews before you sign any petition.
CANCELLED MY CARD AFTER I THOUGHT I WAS MAKING A ONE OFF DONATION AND THEY TOOK MONTHLY. SOOOO CANCELLED CARD AND TOLD THEM AND BANK AND AFTER 2 YEARS HAVE JUST TOOK 3 PAYMENTS! 2 IN SEPTEMBER AND ONE IN OCTOBER! HOW? BANK SAID ONCE THEY HAVE ALL YOUR DETAILS ITS DIFFICULT TO STOP THEM!
THEY HAVE AN AGENDA AND ITS NOT POSITIVE! This site is not Valid. It allows its results to be TAMPERED WITH AND MANIPULATED! They are a farse and should be held accountable for tampering with results! DO NOT SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE.
I have recently run a petition and it seemed to be going well but it was infitrated by someone else and therefore i will not be continuing it, It should not be able to happen this easily.
They just steal your money will remove your post and not give you any info or reason why customer service is non existent with them
Tip for consumers:
Don't use them
I was do exchanger, and he have problem in his system btc to pm, and still wait his reponse to send me my exchanger, beacuse his system he dont detected that
THIS IS WHAT I HEARDIF YOU SIGN THOSE PETITIONS THAT ARE ORGANIZED BY CHANGE.ORG
At 2:44am on Tuesday, October 3rd there are 784,913 signatures to "promote cruelty-free exhibits at the Guggenheim". Did you know that for each e-mail change.org receives they TAKE $1.75. At this point of 784,913 they have paid themselves $1,373,597.75! They are NOT a non-profit organization. For example if I donated $20.00 and gave change.org 5 e-mail addresses then they would take $8.75 leaving $11.25. Then one of those people donates $25.00 and gives them 9 e-mail addresses. Change.org gets $15.75 leaving only $9.25.
And a lot of people won't donate at all, but will sign the petition and they will get out of 15 names thinking that they are being helpful when what they have actually done is given change.org $28.00 and nothing to the Cause.
This information came from https://www.activistfacts.com/organizations/530-change-dot-org/
Even though it feels like we're helping the cause, all we're doing is making the owners of change.org extremely wealthy. Just thought I would share that.
IS THIS TRUE?
We live in an amazing time, when the opportunity to make a difference is greater than ever before. Gathering people behind a cause used to be difficult, requiring lots of time, money, and a complex infrastructure. But technology has made us more connec...
