Getting to change. A redesign of Change.org

There’s been a wave of self-organized movements in the past year (including the largest single day protest in U.S. history ). While Change.org has played a large role in many of these, their petitions have also, in some cases, been criticized as doing more for awareness than the concrete change their name implies. I’ve never been much of an activist myself and have been sitting on the sidelines for many of the recent political events. I decided to use a redesign as an opportunity to understand how social movements work and what could be done to make them move better.
