Dear friends,

Hitler wasn't stopped until it was too late. Now extreme far-right forces are rising again.
Far-right leaders are beating the drums of hate, marching to victory across much of the world -- and threatening everything we stand for.
First they demonised refugees, gay people, and women's rights. But now Trump and his copycats have turned their rage on environmental protections -- throttling urgent action as we spiral into climate chaos.
They want a world of fossil fuels, where nature is neutered -- and if you don't look, love, and pray like they do, then you're the problem.
The next few months are critical.
Half the world will have elections this year, and Avaaz has planned a massive, people-powered uprising to help defeat the far right. We'll expose the wolves in sheep's clothing, uniting millions in a defiant rejection of hate and planetary destruction.
We did it in Brazil and Spain -- but now we need to rise up in multiple countries, hiring political strategists, running giant campaigns, and building alliances with grassroots organisations. We're ready to start in Europe right now, and we need your support.
Everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you. Read more below -- but if you're ready to power a thundering rebellion against the far-right's poison, donate what you can now:

Politicians in Germany's far-right party were just caught discussing a masterplan for mass deportations, just as Hitler did before. Nazi salutes, praise for Putin, and severe restrictions on women's rights -- it's already happening in Europe and beyond. Now as millions are hit with climate collapse, they are shredding laws to protect people and the planet.
Elections this year will undeniably shape the world our children inherit. But our movement can supercharge the resistance -- if we raise enough we could:
- Hire top-notch investigators to expose the far right's dangerous plotting against women, immigrants, and our climate;
- Create massive, attention-grabbing media stunts to expose the far right in countries like Germany, France, Spain, and more;
- Recruit political strategists and communication experts to drive massive turnout in key elections;
- Build alliances with influencers and grassroots groups to mobilise people power like never before; and
- Supercharge our long-term campaigning in defence of democracy, human rights, and the environment.
In Brazil, we helped to create a thundering rejection of Bolsonaro, the Amazon Butcher. Then in recent Spanish elections, the far-right became so worried about our movement that they took Avaaz to court -- but failed to stop us.
All because we all chose to stand and fight with the fierce belief that our children's future is worth defending -- and a better, kinder world is possible. Now it's time to do it again:

This is nothing less than a rallying cry, in fierce defence of our rights and freedoms, and everything we love -- ensuring we have a world where tolerance rules, politicians enact laws that truly keep us free and safe, and our environment is protected. That is why we must rise!
With hope and determination,
Chris, Marie, Pascal, Patri, Jon, Camille, Nell, Kaitlin and the whole Avaaz team

PS. This might be your first donation to our movement ever. But what a first donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies entirely on small donations from members like you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble and effective. Join the over 1 million people who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for good in the world.
