 Dear friends, | Once upon a time, life almost ended on Earth.
The 'Great Dying' was the largest mass-extinction in history -- caused by temperatures rising so fast, it wiped out 90% of all life.
But today the Earth is heating even faster, and we're losing species at a much higher rate. If we don't change course, scientists warn that total ecosystem collapse is "inevitable".
Our very survival is on the line -- but it's not too late! The months ahead are packed with golden opportunities to create a turning point for life on earth.
From pivotal UN meetings, to world-shaping elections, Avaaz campaigners have now mapped the moments when we can have maximum impact this year. Together we'll mobilise millions to block fossil fuels, defend the Amazon, fight historic legal battles -- and pressure our leaders every step of the way.
We are absolutely committed to halting the destruction of our beautiful planet. But we need you with us.
Everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you. We've had incredible impact together -- but now we have to do more. If 10,000 of us make a small weekly donation, we can grow our movement into a thundering force for change. We simply have to.
Because Earth can't wait anymore. For the climate, for nature, and for everyone you love, join our massive uprising to defend life on earth. Donate what you can now: |

| | | | Humanity is fragile. Our entire existence depends on a delicate balance of ecosystems -- and they are unravelling. Today the planet is warming 10 times faster than anytime in the last 65 million years, and we are living through the sixth mass extinction of life. But another world is still within reach. One where we protect the living world, thrive in harmony with nature, and turn our backs on war, for good. We can get there -- but with deadlines this urgent, we need a surge of people-power unlike anything we've done before. Avaaz is fiercely independent of any government or corporate funding. It ensures we can campaign on the most critical issues, without fear or favour. Everything we do is thanks to Avaaz members around the world. You. This year must be a turning point -- so if we raise enough, we will: - Go all out for the Amazon -- mobilising millions of people to fight alongside Indigenous communities and win new protections against illegal logging and mining;
- Fight the world's worst oil pipeline -- we'll unite to stop a planet-cooking pipeline in East Africa, and go all-out to end the age of fossil fuels;
- Support ground-breaking legal cases to force accelerated climate action from governments;
- Demand governments tax corporations and the mega-rich, freeing up funds to tackle inequality and fuel the renewable energy revolution;
- Support vulnerable communities in the wake of climate disasters, like wildfires and deadly famine, by reacting at lighting speed with millions of dollars in life-saving aid.
If there was ever a moment for people to change the course of history, it is now. If you've ever thought about donating, do it now, and let's fight for the future of our world: | | | | | Avaaz has been at the forefront of efforts to protect our planet and secure action on the climate crisis since our founding 15 years ago. Over that time, the threats have grown, and so has the urgency. Let’s make sure our campaigns and impact grow too -- while there is still time to act. With fierce hope and determination, Mike, Bert, Kaitlin, Camille, Adela and the whole Avaaz team If you're still mulling this over, here are 5 reasons to support Avaaz:
- Your donations actually go to social change. Avaaz only raises funds through emails like this. It keeps our fundraising costs low, ensuring your donations are used directly in campaigns to change the world.

- Accountability is built into every single one of our campaigns. We use member polling and emails like this to set our campaign agenda. Avaaz members decide what we campaign on, and how. We are fiercely democratic and people-power is in our DNA.
- It works! If you've read this far, you've probably been with Avaaz for a while, and you know what we're capable of. We have one of the finest, most ambitious advocacy teams in the world, and a proven track-record of major impact. We strive for systemic change, not piecemeal solutions.
