Yves, a father and Avaaz donor from Canada, just sent us this message: In a world of heartbreak, acting alone can feel hopeless. But there's real power when we come together. My donation to Avaaz doesn't feel like a drop in the ocean -- it's part of a rising tide. Here's what our rising tide looks like: When starving families needed life-saving aid in Sudan, our movement sent more food and humanitarian supplies than most countries.When dozens of Afghan women were in danger of being hunted down by the Taliban, Avaaz members funded an emergency relocation program to help them escape.As Indigenous leaders are being attacked in the Amazon, we helped set up 24/7 security protection.And as Gaza continues to be brutally crushed by war, Avaaz members are sending funds to buy motorcycle ambulances to help save lives. This is what a donation to Avaaz means. If you donated even just $1 any time in the past five months, you've helped to save lives. But now we have to do more. In the past few months, governments around the world have been slashing aid and human rights budgets -- ending the era of protections for the vulnerable, and walking away from global responsibilities. That's why Avaaz is now dedicating the rest of this year to more life-saving work -- and we need your help to do it. If 10,000 of us make a small weekly donation today, we can keep standing with families fleeing violence in Sudan, keep showing up for Gaza, keep supercharging Indigenous communities defending the Amazon.

| Dear friends, | Yves, a father and Avaaz donor from Canada, just sent us this message: In a world of heartbreak, acting alone can feel hopeless. But there's real power when we come together. My donation to Avaaz doesn't feel like a drop in the ocean -- it's part of a rising tide.
Here's what our rising tide looks like: - When starving families needed life-saving aid in Sudan, our movement sent more food and humanitarian supplies than most countries.
- When dozens of Afghan women were in danger of being hunted down by the Taliban, Avaaz members funded an emergency relocation program to help them escape.
- As Indigenous leaders are being attacked in the Amazon, we helped set up 24/7 security protection.
- And as Gaza continues to be brutally crushed by war, Avaaz members are sending funds to buy motorcycle ambulances to help save lives.
This is what a donation to Avaaz means. If you donated even just $1 any time in the past five months, you've helped to save lives. But now we have to do more.
In the past few months, governments around the world have been slashing aid and human rights budgets -- ending the era of protections for the vulnerable, and walking away from global responsibilities. That's why Avaaz is now dedicating the rest of this year to more life-saving work -- and we need your help to do it. If 10,000 of us make a small weekly donation today, we can keep standing with families fleeing violence in Sudan, keep showing up for Gaza, keep supercharging Indigenous communities defending the Amazon. If you've ever thought of donating -- now is the time to give: | | | | | | | | | | We're a global community -- one that stands up for humanity everywhere. It's an antidote to the culture of cruelty being pushed by so many politicians right now. When we come together to help others -- especially those we've never met -- we're standing for the world we want: just, caring, connected.This is what Avaaz was built for. And right now it's more important than ever not to turn our backs. With your support, we could: - 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;
- Launch a global storytelling lab to counter hateful propaganda and authoritarian narratives with truth, hope, and collective power;
- Back grassroots defenders and youth leaders fighting for people power and democracy in Spain, Brazil, Germany and elsewhere;
- Organise a digital rebellion to force Big Tech to be accountable and protect kids from tech addiction.
If this is the work you desperately want to see in the world -- and be a part of -- then chip in whatever you can to make it happen: | | | | | | | | | | With all the horror happening in the world, it's easy to believe there's nothing we can do. But that's only true if we let it be. Avaaz is 100% member-funded, and everything we do is made possible by small, meaningful donations that bundle together into something far bigger.
When we act together, we can make a world of difference.
With deep respect and fierce determination,
Bert, Jon, Mike, Adela, Kaitlin, Camille, Marigona and the whole team at Avaaz
