From Julia - Change.org Support Team

"Thank you for contacting the Change.org Support Team.

I understand your concerns regarding contributions and promotion on your petition, and I appreciate your intention to keep your campaign fully organic.

To clarify, contributions made during signing are optional and are used to promote the petition on Change.org. These payments are managed by Change.org and are not sent to the petition starter or to the cause. You can review more details here: Promoting a petition and Terms of Service, Section 6.

I’ve now deactivated the promotion feature on your petition as requested. If you’d like to enable it again in the future, just let us know.

Regarding refunds, supporters who made contributions can contact us directly at help@change.org, and we’ll be happy to assist them individually.

We value your dedication to causes worth fighting for. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask."
