                                Dear friends,  
                                The head of the UN sent us this urgent call for a global ceasefire. Let's all sign and share now:  

                                Add my name  

                                 Our world faces a common enemy: COVID-19. The virus does not care about nationality or ethnicity, faction or faith. It attacks all, relentlessly. 

                                Meanwhile, armed conflict rages on around the world. 

                                The most vulnerable — women and children, people with disabilities, the marginalized and the displaced — pay the highest price. They are also at the highest risk of suffering devastating losses from COVID-19. 

                                Let’s not forget that in war-ravaged countries, health systems have collapsed. 

                                Health professionals, already few in number, have often been targeted. Refugees and others displaced by violent conflict are doubly vulnerable. The fury of the virus illustrates the folly of war. 

                                That is why today, I am calling for an immediate global ceasefire in all corners of the world. 

                                - UN Secretary General,
                                 António Guterres  

                                Add my name  

                                With hope,

                                Christoph, Risalat, Spyro, Nana and the whole team at Avaaz
