Every day real change occurs because of campaigns started on Change.org, from passing local recycling ordinances to preventing human trafficking online. As the world’s most powerful campaigning platform - empowering anyone to start, join and win campaigns for social change on the issues they care about most - we are growing by over 500,000 new users a month and are excited to expand our team in Spain.
