Dear friends, | Earth just had the hottest day, week, and month in 120,000 years.
Four continents are under extreme heat warnings and Canada has been on fire for months. Skies in the US turned a toxic orange, Beijing residents are hiding underground, and millions are starving from a mega-drought in East Africa.
And this is just the start.
The pandemic killed millions and put the world on lockdown. But the intensifying climate crisis will be of a totally different magnitude, lasting for centuries. This is the fight of our lives -- for our lives.
Our movement has a pivotal role to play, right now. From putting European governments on trial for fuelling the climate crisis, to going all-out for the Amazon at the emergency summit happening now -- the weeks and months ahead could be decisive.
Read more below -- but if you're already feeling the extreme urgency of this moment, please fund our fight by making a weekly donation. Avaaz is 100% funded by people like you, and the more we raise, the harder we can fight! |

| | | | Humans are fragile. Beyond a certain temperature, we simply overheat and die. Some parts of the planet are now approaching that red line, when just a few hours outside will be deadly. Yet world leaders are still aggressively fuelling the crisis. We're the snake eating its own tail. As the world bakes, this is the moment to harness public attention and force radical action. But we're up against the world's most powerful corporations and governments. While our voices are powerful, regular donations allow us to power months-long court cases, pivotal research, and direct advocacy in the halls of power. Our small donations, pooled from across the planet, will have a direct impact at this critical time. If we raise enough, our movement could: - Supercharge a ground-breaking court case that could legally force 32 European governments to take radical climate action. We're going all out, but funding is tighter than ever.
- Unleash a campaigning firestorm at a crucial summit to save the Amazon -- happening now! We're funding a powerful delegation of Indigenous leaders to attend the emergency talks, and Avaaz campaigners are on the ground right now, channeling our voices into negotiations!
- Support 21 young people who are putting the entire US government on trial for intensifying the climate crisis. This historic case could accelerate our fight for the future like nothing else -- and we can fund its very foundations.
- Launch bold, new mass-mobilisation campaigns to put maximum pressure on decision makers at this crucial moment in history; and
- Support vulnerable communities in the wake of climate disasters -- reacting at lightning speed with huge campaigns to draw global attention.
The climate crisis is not just urgent or serious. It is existential. When the world is in peril, you don't stop fighting -- you go harder than ever. We'll do it together. Donate what you can now: | | | | | Avaaz isn't just about petitions. We are a thriving movement of people, from every country on Earth. We are lawyers, activists, journalists, and grandparents -- and we are holding our leaders' feet to the fire. We are funding giant nature reserves, fighting alongside Indigenous communities, and defending the Earth's most precious ecosystems. When millions of us come together, across the planet, we are capable of the most extraordinary things. This moment demands nothing less. With fierce hope and endless determination, always, Mike, Adela, Kaitlin, Camille, Bert, Diego, Nick, Ana Sofia, Alis, and the whole team at Avaaz ------We send emails like this because they virtually guarantee our movement can have a direct impact in the world. We can't all be lawyers or frontline defenders fighting for the planet -- but we can fund direct impact at this crucial time. Here are 5 reasons to support Avaaz: - Your donations create real change in the world. Avaaz only raises funds through emails like this. It keeps our fundraising costs low, ensuring your donations are directly used in active campaigns that have proven impact in the world.
- Avaaz is fiercely independent of any government or corporate funding. It means we can campaign on the most critical issues, without fear or favour. Everything we do is thanks to Avaaz members around the world. You.
- Accountability is built into every single one of our campaigns. Annual member polls help to set our agenda, and we normally only run campaigns that receive a critical mass of support. You help to decide what we fight for, and how. We are fiercely democratic and people-power is in our DNA.
- It works! We have an exceptional team, and operate in 21 languages to mobilise millions of people on the biggest challenges of our times. We strive for systemic change, not piecemeal solutions. For a dose of people-powered victories, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
- We punch way above our weight. With a global movement of almost 70 million people, from every country on Earth, we ensure our voices are in the room, impacting the decisions that will shape our collective future.
