Frequently Asked Questions
I never created an account but I'm getting emails. How do I unsubscribe?
When you sign a petition, Change.org creates an account using your email address. To access your email preferences and unsubscribe, go to the Change.org login page and enter the email address you used to sign the petition. Select Continue, check that email for a verification code, and enter the code to log in. If you previously set a password, select Use password instead on the verification-code screen. Once logged in, go to Settings and click Manage communication preferences to update your email settings.
