#Changemakers: Authors Talk (UK Friendly Time) Change.org 2021-12-03 | The authors of 'Changemakers', Almas Virani and Sweta Samota, talk to Pascal Frazer-Carroll (UK Director, Change.org) and Shalini Menon (Global Training Director, Change.org Foundation) in a live-streamed conversation recorded at Dec 2nd, 2021.The book is a gripping account of the journey of 11 powerful Indian women who are changing the face of India. The stories inspire and the message is clear -- ordinary citizens are capable of deep and impactful change if they have the right tools and support. Through their activism journeys, these women created campaigns, propelled by the #SheCreatesChange programme.Their messages created extraordinary progress and some of the most impactful hashtags in the social media space. Almas's campaign, Make Chutki Stronger, which she began in 2019, asked the producers of a popular kids’ TV show called ‘Chhota Bheem’ to make the character of Chutki a better role model for young children in India and to give her her own show. Chutki was usually portrayed stereotypically as the girl who would tire easily, cook and clean and couldn’t keep up with the boys. The producers quickly responded to Almas’ campaign and started work on a spin-off show for Chutki.Also in 2019, Sweta ran the Mumbai Marathon and noticed that male runners were publicly urinating along the marathon route. She started a petition to the organisers and they responded saying they would create better policies to ensure this does not happen again.The hashtags #BattiJalao #GlassHalfFull #AllShadesAreLovely #SwachhMarathon #PeriodsPeCharcha #MakeChutkiStronger #WomenNotObjects #CleanTheMess #ProtectOurKids #PassportReform #PampersPapaToo #MaternityBill #EndFGM gathered momentum and led to sustainable change and a brighter future for us all. These women are pushing back and creating a new India that is turning power on its head.--Learn more about She Creates Change: http://impact.shecreateschange.org

Meet a petition starter: Dr Dunkley Change.org 2021-11-17 | I’d like you to meet Dr. Daihnia Dunkley, a nursing professor and first time petition starter. When the Biden administration announced its Covid task-force to tackle the pandemic, she was disappointed to see that it didn’t include a critical voice from the frontlines - that of a nurse. So she petitioned the administration to change that. And won!When we visited her at home in Long Island, NY she spoke about the importance of the victory, but also the significance of the elected nurse being a black woman. Black communities were disproportionately affected by the pandemic and according to data from John Hopkins University, were as much as three times more likely to die from Covid. She added, “When I heard about the issue with the task force. I really wasn't quite sure what to do. I'm just a single person, but I thought about it and I said, there's got to be more people that feel like me. Even if I can get just a few signatures, our collective voices might make more of an impact.”And she was right. More than 70,000 people have turned to Change.org to wield the power of collective action to create change in their communities.
