Avaazers around the world, <BR><BR>Millions of
us joined young people fighting for our future
in the biggest climate protests ever seen, and
as I watched huge crowds pour onto the streets
across the planet, <B>my heart swelled with
hope.</B> <BR><BR>But <B>it also broke.</B>
<BR><BR>It broke for the places already
devastated by climate change. It broke for the
Amazon, burning even as the children marched.
And it broke for those brave children --
<B>broke that children had to strike at all.</B>
<BR><BR>My one-year-old son was with them -- at
his first ever protest. I wondered <B>what I
will tell him about all this when he’s old
enough to understand??</B> And the answer came
in a single word: <BR><BR>Avaaz. <BR><BR><B>I’ll
tell him the story of us</B> -- the millions of
people around the globe who have come together
across every imaginable barrier to build a
better world for our children. That is Avaaz --
it’s <B>all of us uniting to live in harmony
with each other and our planet</B>, recognising
that we’re not separate from nature, but we ARE
nature, unfolding in ever more magical ways.
<BR><BR><B><I>Here are a few of the stories I’ll
tell my son about what our movement did to save
the future:</I></B> <BR><BR><BR>

fighting for a safe, sustainable climate for
over a decade -- and Friday’s climate strikes
and the UN climate summit were no exception.
Together we helped turn out tens of thousands of
people to strike all over the world. We also
helped ensure momentum in the streets was felt
in the halls of power -- days before the climate
summit, we pushed Germany to pass a new climate
plan. Now 77 countries have committed to ending
carbon emissions by 2050, and 130 banks have
agreed to align their investments with the Paris
Agreement. It’s not yet enough, but climate
courage is on the rise everywhere! <BR><BR><IMG

Amazon fires first broke, we urgently needed to
show Brazil’s Congress that there was national

deforestation. We released a poll showing even
Bolsonaro's supporters wanted action, which was
echoed by a viral campaign signed by more than 2
million Avaazers. Then we brought our message
directly to Congress -- joined by a chorus of
fabulous school children. The fight is far from
over, but every week Avaazers are in Congress
pressuring key MPs to pass more laws to protect
the Amazon and defend against Bolsonaro’s
bullying of indigenous communities. <BR><BR><IMG

Trudeau, Colombia’s President Duque, Costa

Ethiopia’s Environment Minister Fekadu Beyene --

</DIV><BR>Our movement has been leading the
charge to save elephants by closing the largest
ivory markets. We helped push Hong Kong to shut
down their massive ivory trade, and after a
major Avaaz campaign, Europe is promising tough
new restrictions on ivory. Now we’re focusing on
Japan, one of the world's largest remaining
ivory markets. Last month, we sent thousands of
messages to Japan's leading decision-makers,
shared our 1.2 million petition with the
Japanese delegation at a key wildlife summit,
and ran a hard-hitting full-page ad in the

thing? It’s working -- new statistics show
elephant poaching is dropping as ivory markets

</STRONG></SPAN></DIV><BR>That’s not all. Over a
million of us helped win new protections for
threatened giraffes this year, even when many
said it was impossible. Tens of thousands of us
chipped in to create a massive snow leopard
reserve in Nepal, and to buy and protect a
swathe of fragile habitat threatened by
development in the Galapagos Islands. And thanks
to donations of Avaazers, brave rangers across
Africa who put their lives on the line to save
our wildlife are getting the best training in
the world. <BR><BR><IMG style="MAX-WIDTH: 600px"
