🔁 Change.org vs New/Mode: Which Platform Drives Real Change in 2025?

Petitions Alone Aren’t Enough

You’ve probably signed a Change.org petition or maybe even started one. It’s fast, simple, and can rack up thousands of signatures. But then what?

If you’re an organization or campaigner looking to influence policy, shift public debate, or build long-term power, signatures alone will not suffice.

That’s where New/Mode comes in. Let’s compare it to Change.org and explain why thousands of progressive campaigners choose a more impactful approach.

📊 At-a-Glance: Platform Comparison

💡 Change.org: Easy Visibility, Limited Power

Change.org made online petitions mainstream.  It’s accessible and widely recognized, making it a great entry point for public awareness.

But there are major limitations:

• Petitions don’t go to decision-makers 
  
  
• One channel only—you’re limited to signature counts, not meaningful political pressure.
