Living in the United States, I've observed firsthand how the influence of lobbyists often overshadows the voices of ordinary citizens. In a nation where digital innovation is at the forefront, I believe there's a significant opportunity to redefine how we engage in political advocacy and empowerment. Cryptocurrency offers a powerful, decentralized method for encouraging active participation without the drawbacks of traditional financial systems.

To facilitate this new frontier of civic engagement, I am proposing that Change.org accept cryptocurrency securely via Base Pay. This recently released protocol allows for secure, efficient cryptocurrency transactions through an API-based integration. With my onchain mini-app, users can seamlessly direct funds toward creating impactful petitions and advocacy initiatives. This system is designed to be transparent and unbiased, as I do not accept fees or collect information, simply managing and maintaining the app to serve the community.

Imagine a world where supporting a cause is just a few clicks away, accessible to anyone with internet access and a digital wallet. Starting from the USA, the aim is to expand this model globally, enabling users worldwide to advocate for their beliefs. Adding cryptocurrency as a donation and transaction method on Change.org could lead to a broader, more engaged audience, fostering a healthier democratic process everywhere.

Cryptocurrency integration not only strengthens financial privacy but also encourages more dynamic participation, empowering those previously left out by the high costs of political engagement. By reducing barriers, we allow many more voices to be heard in government and community initiatives.

I urge Change.org to consider this proposal. Let's introduce cryptocurrency as a tool for change that invites more people to participate in democracy in a meaningful way. Join me in advocating for this innovation to reshape how petitions are created and supported on Change.org.

Please sign this petition to support the integration of cryptocurrency on Change.org and create a more inclusive platform for advocacy. Feel free to check out my decentralized mini-app for directing people that care, to causes that matter (including linking to some change.org petitions):
