What is Direct Change?

Direct Change is a new social media application for connecting people with common interests in political, social and community issues. It's for people who want to change things, not just complain about them. It's a tool to make US heard.

"One pebble is a nuisance;
ten thousand is an avalanche."

How Does Direct Change Work?

Direct Change is a platform for debating issues and taking action. Supporters rally around issues that are important to them, earning status on the leaderboard for contributing good ideas, engaging in actions and encouraging others to take action. There's also a crowdsourced voting system to help the best ideas and most effective actions bubble to the top.

"Propose,
Discuss,
Act."

The emphasis is on civilized debate and action. If you want to argue and complain, there are plenty of places on the Internet catering to that behavior. If you want to do something, Direct Change is for you.
