Dear friends,

This year has been a gut punch. No other way to say it.

At Avaaz, we’re asking a question, we think many of you are:amidst so much pain and need, where do we even put our focus?

We’ve landed on a surprising answer -- ignite aglobal joy rebellion capable of pushing back against fascism while building new progressive power that can create the thriving world we need.
Do you agree with this as the focus for the Avaaz community right now?
YES ( avaaz.org/2025plan_YES ) NO ( avaaz.org/2025plan_NO )

As a member of the Avaaz community, you are a core advisor and we need your input to get this right.

We believe it’s time for a global rebellion of people who flat out refuse to lose sight of our joy, our love, our children, our health, or the health of our planet. Who refuse to turn away when others are suffering. Who refuse to be satisfied with false solutions and politicians that are the lesser of two evils.There is another way forward but we’re going to have to build it together because our politicians aren’t going to do it for us. Luckily we are a global community of millions that is trained and ready for this moment.
How does that sound to you? (we really want to know!! Please take this short poll and tell us what you think).

With all of our hearts, hope and fierce determination,

Nell, Nana, Patri, Aloys and the whole Avaaz team
