Dear
friends, |
|
July
was officially the hottest month ever recorded
on planet Earth.
We now live in
a world of unstoppable wildfires, heat domes,
and toxic, unbreathable air. And this is just
the start.
The
intensifying climate crisis is an "extinction
level threat" that will last for
centuries -- yet governments are still gorging
on fossil fuels, investing TRILLIONS in our
planet's destruction.
Most
politicians won't be alive to see the brutal
world they're creating. Our children
will.
As the
world burns, this is the moment to harness
public attention and force radical
action. And we have a plan to do
exactly that -- from putting the world's biggest
polluters on trial, to fighting for strict new
Amazon protections.
You've generously
funded Avaaz campaigns before, thank you -- now
we're counting on your support to launch
the emergency action plan.
Read
more below -- but if you're
already feeling the extreme urgency of this
crisis, please fund our fight by making a
one-off donation. We understand
that times are tough, but if you can, a small
donation would make a massive difference. Avaaz
is 100% funded by people like you.

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. Our movement has gone
all-out to protect the planet, and we've had
major wins. But we have to do more.
Our small
donations, pooled from across the planet, could
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.
- Intensify our
pressure on key governments to
announce strict new protection measures for the
Amazon rainforest.
- 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,
we don't stop fighting -- we go harder than
ever. 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.
