Hi Changemakers,

We’re excited to announce that we launched a major new service for our nonprofit partners this past week, which marks a significant step toward achieving our goal of becoming the central platform for connecting and empowering nonprofits, donors, and activists worldwide.

This new service allows any nonprofit organization in the US or abroad to turn their basic profile on Change.org into a branded social network that looks like their website and has custom features to enable each organization to better communicate with supporters and provide additional means for taking action.

This service was launched in partnership with over 50 organizations, including Amnesty International, CARE, The Humane Society of the United States, and Environmental Defense. To view a partial list of our launch partners, please visit:

We’re also happy to let you know that we’re going to be announcing a couple of exciting new partnerships and site enhancements soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s an overview of the featured activity on Change.org for this week:

Featured News Story: Gas-Free Cars Will Soon Hit the Streets
Coming soon to a freeway near you: cars that don’t need gasoline. Honda, Ford, and General Motors announced plans at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week to put alternative fuel technology vehicles on the road in California in coming months. Although none are being manufactured in large quantities, the limited trials will be a taste of what’s likely to come.

Featured Change: End Global Hunger
As Americans celebrated Thanksgiving with a feast with their families this week, millions of malnourished children and adults across the world struggled for survival. Worldwide, 840 million people live with chronic hunger and 8.8 million people die of hunger-related causes each year. Mark this past Thanksgiving weekend by joining the End Global Hunger community on Change.org to help prevent the tragedy of starvation in a world of plenty.

Featured Nonprofit: Action Against Hunger
Action Against Hunger is a leading organization working to save the lives of malnourished children and adults globally while providing sustainable access to safe water and long-term solutions to hunger. Help support their efforts by joining their community and making a donation today.

Featured Action: Demand Better Background Checks on Gun Purchases
The country was horrified when students at Virgina Tech were brutally gunned down earlier this year. But instead of moving from shock to action, we simply moved on, and haven’t addressed one of the core problems that contributed to the tragedy: a widespread unwillingness to properly conduct background checks before selling guns. In June, the House passed legislation that would help curb this problem. Please urge the Senate to pass similar legislation immediately. Every delay puts more and more guns in the wrong hands and lives at risk.

Featured Fundraising Project: Become a Friend of New Orleans
This week the Commission on Presidential Debates, which chooses the sites for the general-election debates, declined from naming the City of New Orleans as a host one of the debates despite intense lobbying efforts. Holding a debate in New Orleans would have forced the nation to confront the inadequate relief and rebuilding efforts since Hurricane Katrina, and to lay out a plan for the complete recovery of the city, its culture and its community. A number of organizations such as Friends of New Orleans are standing strong and continue to fight for the just treatment of New Orleans and its citizens. Help support their efforts by donating and becoming a “Friend of New Orleans” today.

Have a great week!
