Change.org wants to turn your TikTok rant into local political action

Under new president Steve Dziedzic, Change.org has shifted from primarily national campaigns to emphasizing local organizing, where petitions are more likely to succeed and citizens feel greater impact.

The redesign addresses research showing Americans' lack of faith in elected officials and targets local governance where individual voices carry more weight.
