change.org is worthless call the CC companies directly
Why not both?

Remember, that's not enough. Call these demon companies yourself and your representative.
100% a change.org petition makes news which is useful but won't otherwise do anything. What you need to do to back that up is cost Visa/Mastercard money, and the way to do that is to call them and tell their ethics teams that what they're doing is deeply wrong.

People are doing that too, there was just an article posted a bit ago talking about that.

PayPal just announced they’ll be offering crypto payments worldwide. They’ll be offering common wallet integration for 100+ currencies. This is how we sidestep Visa and Mastercard.

wrote last edited by [email protected]It would be nice if companies accepted regional payment options, for example, Canada has Interac e-transfer to easily transfer funds from one bank account to another, local businesses in Canada have offered this as an option for payment option but anything international it’s either PayPal or CC.
Interac E-transfer is so simple to use and definitely beats having to use third-party apps like Venmo and CashApp.
