Hit by Climate
Inferno | |

Dear
friends, |
|
Earth
just had the hottest weeks in 120,000
years.
Four continents are under
extreme heat warnings. Canada's been burning for
months, Beijing residents are hiding
underground, and millions are starving from a
mega-drought in East
Africa.
Faced with the biggest
threat to life on Earth, governments are
failing. Most politicians won't live to
see the deadly world they're creating -- our
children will.
While
the pandemic killed millions, 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 the US government on trial for
fuelling the climate crisis, to going all-out
for the Amazon at the upcoming emergency summit
-- the 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. Vast
areas 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
rapid-response campaigns when disaster
strikes. Our small donations,
pooled from across the planet, will have a
direct impact at this critical time. If
we raise enough, our movement could:
- 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.
- Unleash a
campaigning firestorm at a crucial summit to
save the Amazon. We'll fund a powerful
delegation of Indigenous leaders and channel our
voices into the heart of the emergency talks --
starting in weeks!
- Supercharge a
ground-breaking court case that could
legally force 32 EU governments to take
radical climate action. We're going all out, but
funding is tighter than ever.
- Launch bold,
new mass-mobilisation campaigns,
putting maximum pressure on world leaders to end
the age of fossil fuels.
- Support
vulnerable communities in the wake of climate
disasters -- reacting at lightning
speed with life-saving aid and 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 we come together, all
69 million of us, 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.

fiercely independent of any government
or corporate funding. It means we can campaign
on the most critical issues, without fear or

campaigns. Annual member polls help to

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.

movement of almost 70 million people, from every
country on Earth, we ensure our voices are in
