This virus is taking a toll on
all of us -- but what if we could make kindness
go viral instead? One powerful way to do that
is by starting or joining a "Viral Kindness"
Facebook group in our local community.
Let's connect with each other, identify ways to help and
assist the more vulnerable, and spread a little hope,
love and kindness. Get started with one

Dear Avaazers,
This is the moment we were created
for.Only massive, people-powered action in a
million different acts of kindness in communities
across the world can slow this virus. And we are 56
million caring people in towns, cities and villages across the
planet ready to get to work. The Avaaz team has
identified one extremely powerful way you can help:
start or join a "Viral Kindness" Facebook group in
your local community to connect, identify ways we can
help each other, assist the most vulnerable, and share wisdom,
hope and kindness. We’ll send you everything you need -- get
started with one click: Yes, I'd like to start or join a Facebook group
Local support groups are proving crucial in
assisting vulnerable groups to maintain isolation,
like bringing food or essential medicine to the quarantined.
They can also share vital information to keep people
safe. And just as important, they can spread
wisdom, humour and kindness to help keep our
spirits up. We may be physically distanced, physically
disconnected. That's all the more reason to stay emotionally
connected. This virus will be a marathon not a sprint, and
we're going to need each other. The process is easy,
just click below to start or find your local group,
and then join! The groups are being run by Avaaz
volunteers around the world, but the Avaaz team will provide
ideas for the best content, tactics and emerging wisdom to
share. This is how we help, let's get it done: Yes, I'd like to start or join a Facebook group
If you don't want to
start a group but there isn't one in your area yet, watch this
space! In a few days, we'll email everyone with a link to the
group started that is closest to you.
Avaaz members
have long connected just through a global petition page or
live chat. It's time to connect locally, see each other, and
work together -- everywhere. Start a group, or search Facebook
for a "Viral Kindness" group in your area. This virus could
kill tens of millions of people, and its threats to us don't
stop there. Let's come together as humanity to face this
challenge together.
With hope,
Ricken and the
whole Avaaz team |
