I reccomend signing the ACLU petition if you are an american. The ACLU has more political power than change.org https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy
Also consider:
Contacting Members of Congress/any other government officials of the dangers of the mastercard/visa controlling the worlds payment and preventing purchase of legal goods they don't like
Contacting Mastercard/Visa to complain. Collective shout did the same thing with only ~1000 people, there are more of us than there are of collective shout. Complain that fringe groups like Collective shout have targeted legal content. Please be respectful however.
If you have invested in funds that own stock in visa/mastercard, or even own stock in them directly, contact about concerns of Visa/Mastercard cutting off revenue streams due to anti and fringe group pressure.
I aalso recommend people to write to the DOJ as well as the payment processors to file a compalint but mainly the DOJ under anti-trust laws

(!!)Most importantly(!!), those in the USA should consider contacting their Congressmen (phone or email) and tell them you want to support these bills:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987
I would urge them to support it, and even urge them to strengthen the wording of it to put more restrictions on credit card companies, not just banks. ( How to find your congressman[www.congress.gov] )
Then, I think those in the USA should contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and file a complaint. Doing this next is good, as its the most consumer focused:
https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
Phone: 1-855-411-2372
Mail: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552
Following that, submit a detailed complaint detailing the issues to the DOJ’s Antitrust Division or FTC:
Department of Justice – Antitrust Division
Phone: 1-855-411-2372
Mail: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552

You can use an AI to help you draft letters easily (Microsoft Copilot requires no sign-in). I've put physical addresses too because although it represents a big commitment of effort, few things get their message through better than a written letter.
This is not an end-all-be-all list, but I think its a pretty good starting point. I understand a lot of this represents an uncomfy amount of effort, but really, wouldn't it be an insane spectacle if Visa or MasterCard literally got broken up all because they messed with some erogames on Steam? Imagine that going down in history.
