Change.org is the world’s largest platform for democracy.

• Support petition starters in driving their campaigns to victory and talking to press about their campaign.
• Write brand emails that perform well across Change.org’s email audience.
• Stay on top of compelling issues and news stories to inform campaign selection and escalation.
