Dear friends,
|
It is Saturday, June 14th 2025, and our world is on fire. Babies bombed in Gaza. Missiles rain down in Iran. Families ripped apart in the US, and the world's worst humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Meanwhile, carbon pollution is the highest in 800,000 years, and a million species are howling on the edge of extinction. We are living through one of the greatest upheavals of life on Earth -- yet governments are slashing aid and accelerating climate chaos. But here's the thing: the fire is also in us. We are not powerless. Every day, Avaaz members like you are proving it -- through small acts of fierce compassion that ripple across the world: - As the Taliban hunts down women activists, our donations are creating a path to safety, right now.
- When Indigenous leaders get death threats in the Amazon, we're helping to provide 24/7 security.
- We're fighting a monster oil pipeline in East Africa and funded historic court cases to hold the world's worst polluters accountable.
- We've exposed mass atrocities in Sudan -- and when families in Syria needed life-saving aid, Avaaz provided more than most countries.
We've achieved all this thanks to Avaaz members -- millions of us who refuse to look away. This is a fundraiser to rapidly grow our life-saving work to meet the crucial moment we're in. Your support today will fuel our campaign to help end the atrocities in Gaza and strengthen the indigenous communities protecting our rivers, reefs, and rainforests. Together, we'll scale efforts to protect civilians and end the war in Sudan -- and build a rebellion against the Trumps, Putins, and billionaires tearing our world apart.If you're ready to put your fire into action, then join us. If you've ever thought about donating, please give what you can now :

Yves, a father and Avaaz donor from Canada, wrote: "In a world of heartbreak, acting alone can feel hopeless. But my donation to Avaaz doesn't feel like a drop in the ocean -- it's part of a rising tide." Together, we're not just resisting the worst -- we're building something better. Because we know that real hope and lasting change doesn't trickle down from the top. It rises from the grassroots. With your support this year, we can: - Rescue lives and protect civilians in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and beyond -- and campaign to end the wars;
- Stand with Indigenous communities defending the Earth's most precious ecosystems from drilling and destruction;
- Back grassroots defenders and youth leaders fighting for democracy in Spain, Brazil, Germany and elsewhere;
- Launch a global storytelling lab to drown out hateful propaganda and authoritarian narratives with truth, hope, and collective power;
- Organise a digital rebellion to protect kids from tech addiction and force Big Tech to be accountable.
It's no longer enough to believe a better world is possible. Now we have to put our belief into action. If you can, please start a regular donation today:

Everything Avaaz does is entirely funded by people like you -- we don't take a cent from governments or billionaires. Every donation is a stand for solidarity, dignity, and human rights. And when we come together, we’re capable of extraordinary things. This moment demands nothing less. With deep respect and fierce determination, always, Adela, Bert, Jon, Mike, Kaitlin, Camille, Marigona and the whole team at Avaaz 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. Three reasons why your donation matters - Our donations create real change: In the past year alone, we've blocked oil drilling in thousands of acres of the Ecuadorian Amazon; supported Indigenous Peoples in Nepal to buy and protect their ancestral lands; helped kickstart a new people’s movement in Palestine; and much much more!
- Avaaz is fiercely independent. We only accept small donations from individuals. No governments. No billionaires. It means we work on the most critical issues of our time. Everything we do happens because of Avaaz members. Because of you.
- We punch way above our weight. We’re a global movement of almost 70 million people, from every country on Earth. We work tirelessly to ensure our voices get heard, impacting the decisions that shape our collective future.
