Campact is a German non-governmental organization that aims at creating political pressure in a wide variety of issues through mass digital mobilization. The origins of the organisation and of the first activists are in the anti-nuclear- and environmental movement but soon Campact started to address a variety of topics.
One of its founders, Christoph Bautz, cited MoveOn as inspiration for the founding of the movement in 2004. One of its successful and better-known campaigns targeted the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). In October 2019 Campact lost its non-profit status, but was not lastingly hurt in its operations due to a substantial growth in donations.
