We’ve Moved the TJAAA Petition to Change.org—Here’s Why (and What to Do)

Written By Eric Thompson

We migrated the Truth in Job Advertising & Accountability Act (TJAAA) petition from Resistbot to Change.org to reach more people and capture public stories.

👉 Please re-sign and share: https://www.change.org/StopGhostJobs

Why the switch?

Resistbot helped us launch quickly—thank you to everyone who signed there. As momentum grows, we need a platform that:

  • Amplifies reach. Change.org has a large built-in audience and strong social discovery.

  • Captures stories. Public comments help lawmakers and media see the human impact of ghost jobs.

  • Captures stories. Public comments help lawmakers and media see the human impact of ghost jobs.

  • Supports updates. We can post campaign updates, media mentions, and milestones that subscribers receive.

  • Eases sharing. One canonical link to use across LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and email.

What we’re asking supporters to do

  • Re-sign on Change.org. Signatures don’t transfer across platforms, so your new signature matters. https://www.change.org/StopGhostJobs

  • Add one sentence about your experience with ghost jobs in your comment (optional but powerful).

  • Share the new link with your network—especially recruiters and hiring managers who want transparency.

Quick refresher: What TJAAA does

  • The TJAAA is a common-sense, pro-transparency bill that would:Require real, funded openings with prompt takedowns when roles pause or close.

  • Put clear facts in every listing (pay range, location/on-site/remote, core requirements, citizenship/clearance if any, and whether AI is used in screening).

  • Curb deceptive “evergreen” listings presented as active openings.

  • Protect applicants’ privacy and limit resume/data use.

  • Establish basic audit trails and real accountability (including whistleblower protections).

FAQs

Do my Resistbot signatures carry over? No—platforms don’t share data. Please sign again on Change.org so your support is counted.

Is my old signature wasted? Not at all. It helped us prove interest early. The new signature boosts visibility where press and policymakers often look.
