Dear new Avaaz friend,
I'm thrilled to write to you for the first time. You've become "an Avaazer" -- part of a beautiful
movement of 50 million people from absolutely every single country on earth. A community that believes we have more in common, wherever we are, than what divides us.
What we do together? Fight to create the world we dream of. Yep, nothing less!
Signing a petition is a small step, but it can accomplish SO MUCH when we stick together with a common goal. Let's put modesty aside: thanks to everyone who has signed, donated, sent messages, called decision-makers, and even joined offline actions and meet-ups, we've been winning and winning and winning.
Check out this page for some of the highlights of what Avaazers around the world have achieved together.
Avaaz might seem a bit of a mystery, so here are a few key things you should know to help you understand the community:
- "Avaaz" means "voice" in many languages.
- For the past 10 years, we've campaigned relentlessly to make the voices of citizens heard and to spread values of respect, love, hope, and shared humanity.
- The Avaaz staff is about 100 people, spread across the planet, giving everything we have every day to carry citizens' voices into key decision-making moments.
- We are 100% funded by small donations from members. We receive no money (not a cent!) from governments, companies, or big individual donors.
- We'll send you one or two emails per week, letting you know how you can help making a difference on an important issue.
- If you can't wait, you can also start your own petition here!
- Follow us! Find us on or or
A big hello from everyone in the team -- I'm here, too!
I truly can't wait to see what we can accomplish together -- we'll be honoured to make sure every single one of your actions travels far and truly makes an impact.
With hope and respect,
Camille, Antonia, Ricken, Fadi and everyone else in the team and the Avaaz movement
