Is it free to start a petition?
Creating a standard petition is intended to be free. Optional payments, promoted placements or paid resources, when offered, should display their terms before checkout.
Why is my petition not public yet?
New or historically imported petitions may remain in draft or pending status until the required checks are finished. Check your dashboard for the current status and any requested changes.
Can I edit or withdraw a petition?
Organisers may have editing or deletion-request tools, subject to the platform’s moderation workflow. Changes to a published campaign may need renewed approval.
Can someone sign more than once?
The platform is designed to discourage duplicate or automated signatures. Historical signatures may need separate reconciliation before appearing in public counts.
Does a petition guarantee a change in policy?
No. A petition brings a request and evidence of support to public attention. Responses and outcomes depend on the relevant people or institutions.
Can an organisation join?
AfricaChange supports individual and organisation accounts. Any verification badge is provided only after the appropriate review.
How do I report misleading or harmful content?
Use the report function on the relevant content, where available, or contact the team with the exact page link and a concise description of the concern.
