Hi Faith, My name is Bec Wilson, Chief Global Officer of North America for Change.org. You have probably never heard of me — and that's how it should be. Change.org has always been about you. Our mission is to make sure everyone, people like you, always have a say and can create real change in their communities and across the globe. Being true to that mission requires being independent of corporate and political interests. This is why we are 100% funded by this very community of people like you. The ability to hold the powerful to account means going to Main Street — people power — not Wall Street. That’s why Change.org is powered by Members. Monthly contributions from people just like you help sustain our mission and our technology – keeping Change.org open, independent and accessible to all. In just two years, more than 100,000 people have become Change.org Members— and, together, we are just getting started. As someone who has added their name to a petition on Change.org, you are part of a very special community of people who care about making the world a better place. It’s a community that comes together to take action and fund the critical support needed to win. And even if you don’t agree with all the petitions you see, we hope you’ll agree the ability for everyone to use their power to fight injustice is essential for our democracy. Too many people feel the system is rigged against them — that lawmakers and lobbyists only care about those with money and connections. This risks a hopelessness that pushes people away from civic engagement, making it even harder for all of us to hold the powerful accountable. It’s a vicious cycle that impacts us all. But there is hope, and every day we are working to break that cycle. Technology can bring us together like never before, bringing power back to people like you. We are so proud to be 100% people powered. Thank you for making our mission possible through your actions on Change.org. | |
