So many funny reviews... It's so funny (and depressing) how many people here are calling Avaaz fake and coming up with all sort of crazy conspiracy theories. Just because their actions are not compatible with your nationalist or ideological framework doesn't mean they aren't doing good things. And not only good things, but things most people with empathy and common sense can and will agree with. They are not against particular countries or peoples but they do campaign against unethical practices and corrupt and draconian politics. That is important on every possible level. I do however agree that they send quite a lot of messages which is sometimes annoying. But that is a small price to pay for trying to make the world a better place.

Be careful when signing a donation My advise is be very careful when donating. Like some others I authorized a one-off donation and the amount has been taken off my account every month ever since. The biggest problem is that when I access my account to view the donations there is no record of them, the only way to try and cancel the charge is via a contact form and it seems wrong - you should be able to view and manage your donations within the account. I emailed and used the contact form and since there has been no answer I had no choice but cancel my card.

Once you give authorization for a… Once you give authorization for a monthly donation, there is no way to withdraw this, although they promise how simple that can be. The link to send an email to Avaaz never worked so you'll end up writing a letter (it's 2020 dammit) to stop this fraud.

Very disappointed in AVAAZ… I am very disappointed to find that many months ago I sent Avaaz a 'once off' donation of R80.00, which they have just kept debiting my account with up until now, the latest date being 5th August 2021. I specifically instructed that this was a once off payment which they are ignoring. PLEASE delete my name from your subscriber list immediately, I do not have the funds to donate. The payment was a single and sincere donation only.

Although people have signed petitions… Although people have signed petitions in front of me and gone through the process of verifying, they are not a robot. The application does not update with their signature nor does it increase the ticker as to the number of people signing the petition!
