Reproductive rights in this country face unprecedented attacks, there’s been an increase in domestic violence in the past year, and there are 1.8 million fewer women in the workplace than before the pandemic.

It’s never been more essential for Change.org staff to support petitions fighting for the safety and well being of women and girls.

Our team of campaigners is coaching petition starters, connecting with journalists, and organizing protests – making petitions 4x more likely to win. And our development team is building tools to help the 28,200 people who’ve started women’s rights petitions run successful campaigns.

This work would not be possible without funding from people like you. Can you chip in monthly to help us fight for women’s rights?
