How citizens everywhere can fight the climate crisis.
Our home is on fire
Dear friends,
We just experienced the hottest month ever
recorded on planet Earth.
Global heating is entering a terrifying new
phase, and over 100 people just died in another record-breaking wildfire,
this time in Hawaii.
The pandemic killed millions and put the
world on lockdown. But the 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 major governments on trial for fuelling the climate
crisis, to fighting for strict new Amazon protections, the months ahead
could be decisive.
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.
I'LL DONATE €1
I'LL DONATE €2
I'LL DONATE €3
I'LL DONATE €4
I'LL DONATE €5
OTHER AMOUNT
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. 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 direct advocacy in the halls of power.
Our small donations, pooled from across the
planet, will have a direct impact at this critical time. If we raise enough,
our movement could:
a.. 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.
b.. Intensify our pressure on key
governments to announce strict new protection measures for the Amazon
rainforest.
c.. 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.
d.. Launch bold, new mass-mobilisation
campaigns to put maximum pressure on decision makers at this crucial moment
in history; and
e.. 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, you don't stop
fighting -- you go harder than ever. We'll do it together. Donate what you
can now:
I'LL DONATE €1
I'LL DONATE €2
I'LL DONATE €3

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:
1.. 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.
2.. 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.

we normally only run campaigns that receive a critical mass of support. You

people-power is in our DNA.
4.. 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,

ensure our voices are in the room, impacting the decisions that will shape
