Dear
friends, |

This
is what the climate crisis looks like up
close...
A moment of tenderness
between father and son -- in the midst of
unspeakable horror.
In Somalia, 7 million
people are in danger of starving -- and
HALF of all children are severely
malnourished. Hospitals are becoming
overwhelmed and parents are being forced to make
impossible decisions about who to
feed.
The country is being devastated by
the worst drought in 40 years. Without rain,
nothing grows anymore -- and aid isn't arriving
fast enough.
Somali doctors and
aid workers are racing the clock -- but another
starving child is admitted to hospital every
single minute. Resources are running
out, and doctors are terrified.
The last
famine here killed 250,000 people. We cannot let
it happen again.
Avaaz has 70 million
members, and if we each give just a bit, we can
make a real difference. Together we'd
fund lifesaving medical care and food packages
for thousands of people -- and power a
massive campaign, pushing governments to unlock
urgent aid and slash the carbon pollution that's
forcing millions into
catastrophe.
Let's join together
in an epic global effort to stop children
starving on the climate frontlines --
donate what you can now:

We
thought long and hard about the image we used in
this email. We know it's heartbreaking
-- but it is the reality of the crisis today.
The world's poorest people are dying from
climate disasters right now. And it's not 'just'
a handful of people -- 40% of Somalia's
population could starve to death. We have
to respond to the immediate crisis -- but must
also intensify our campaign on governments. It's
still too easy for them to ignore the news when
the reality is that human beings are
dying because our leaders are
failing. If the biggest
polluters don't help vulnerable nations to adapt
and survive, more children will die as climate
disasters slam the planet. They've done the
least to cause the climate crisis, but are now
paying the heaviest price imaginable. We
cannot look away. If we raise enough, we
will:
- Support a
massive feeding programme for tens of
thousands of children in Somalia;
- Fund medical
aid and assistance for families and
children fighting for their lives;
- Run ads in
major media highlighting the plight of
Somalia's children and demanding governments
fund lifesaving support for them, and;
- Launch powerful
campaigns to carry the voices of those caught on
the climate frontlines to
decision-makers everywhere to demand urgent
action on the climate crisis.
Real
human lives are hanging by a thread --
and we can help. Donate
what you can now: |

Our
community has done so much to protect the
vulnerable in humanitarian emergencies and the
climate crisis. We've just teamed up with the
Prime Minister of Tuvalu to demand the end of
fossil fuels at COP27, and during Covid, we
raised millions to help those hardest hit by the
crisis. This magic blend of direct support on
the ground and massive citizen pressure on
governments is our superpower -- let's come
together to use it to save lives in Somalia
right now!
With endless hope and fierce
determination,
Bert, Marigona, Pascal,
Patri, Kaitlin, Camille, Adela and the whole
team at Avaaz
PS. This might be your
first donation to our movement ever. But what a

entirely on small donations from members like
you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble
and effective. Join the over 1 million people
