Creating a Change.org account is completely free and takes just a few minutes. With a Change.org account, you can sign petitions, start your own campaigns, track petitions you have supported, and manage your email preferences.

How to create your Change.org account

Follow these steps to create a new Change.org account:

1. Go to the Change.org homepage
   Visit the Change.org homepage in your web browser.
2. Click "Log in" in the top right corner
   This opens the account login and signup page.
3. Enter your email address
   Type your email address in the "Email address" field and click "Continue."
4. Create a password
   If this is a new email address, you will be prompted to create a password for your Change.org account. Enter a secure password and click "Continue."
5. Enter your name
   Provide your first and last name. This is how your name will appear on petitions you sign and on your Change.org profile. Click "Continue" to complete the registration.

Once you complete these steps, your Change.org account is created and you will be taken to the Change.org homepage where you can start signing or creating petitions.

If you signed a petition before creating an account

When you sign a petition on Change.org without being logged in, a Change.org account is automatically created using the email address you provided during signing. To access this account:

1. Go to the Change.org login page
2. Enter the email address you used when signing the petition
3. Click "Set or Change Password" on the login page
4. Check your email for the password reset link
5. Create a password to access your account

Once you set your password, you can log in and access your account, including any petitions you have previously signed.

Why email verification matters

When you sign petitions on Change.org, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your signature. This verification process:

● Ensures each signature represents a real person

● Prevents duplicate or fraudulent signatures

● Helps petition starters demonstrate genuine support

● Maintains the integrity of Change.org petitions

If you sign a petition while logged in to your Change.org account, your signature is confirmed immediately without needing to click a confirmation email link.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my Facebook account to sign up for Change.org?

Yes. On the Change.org login page, you will see an option to "Continue with Facebook." Clicking this allows you to create or log into your Change.org account using your Facebook credentials.

What if I cannot find the password reset email in my inbox?

Check your spam or junk folder, as the email may have been filtered. If you still do not see it after a few minutes, try requesting the password reset again. If you continue having trouble, contact Change.org support from the email address associated with your account.
