If a petition gets 10,000 signatures, the government will respond.
If a petition gets 100,000 signatures, it will be considered for debate in Parliament.

Is sama investing as an individual or is he investing through y combinator somehow? If it's as an individual this can be interpreted as further proof that he is positioning himself to run for governor of cali in a future election.
There is much better option in some countries if you want to change some law or government policy. For example, in the UK any British citizen or UK resident can create an online petition to be discussed in UK Parliament [1]. If a petition gets 10,000 signatures, the government will respond.

I would like to see a world where petitions are much more taken into account. Unfortunately, for many leaders, they are not taken seriously. I hope Change.org can do something about this.
If they can move ideas through all of those stages, they can usher them into law. But just aggregating petitions is like asking 100,000 people what their dream house is and then claiming that you've done your part and now politicians need to solve the housing crisis.

I wish there was a TLD that was regulated such that only a legitimate not for profit organization could have it, similar to .edu. Change having a .org TLD is incredibly misleading. It's not a non-profit, and no, B corporations do not count.

For example, if the evangelicals made a petition to ban abortions in USA, it could potentially get a lot of support but yet there is no way for others to show their strong opposition against that as well.

Even when there was a notional nonprofit requirement for .org, it was never enforced, and it hasn't actually existed for some time. It's only misleading to people who impute a meaning to .org that it does not claim and had never actually had.
I worked for Change circa 2010 ~ 2011. Interesting to see how their revenue model has changed. IIRC they were previously making money by building email lists for non-profits and other orgs that would essentially contract Change to get them exposure. From what I read here, seems that wasn't really working out. Not sure what to make of becoming it a crowdfunding platform.
