About Avaaz

Avaaz is a global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere. Avaaz—meaning "voice" in several European, Middle Eastern and Asian languages—launched in 2007 with a simple democratic mission: organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want. The Avaaz community campaigns in 17 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents and thousands of volunteers. We take action -- signing petitions, funding media campaigns and direct actions, emailing, calling and lobbying governments, and organizing "offline" protests and events -- to ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform the decisions that affect us all. Any questions or concerns please message us on our contact us form: https://avaaz-docs-en.helpscoutdocs.com

Helping me Support women of the world A great nonprofit organisation that speaks out and highlights the need for improving women’s rights particularly in countries most affected by drought. This problem also identified by the UN but Avaaz allows individuals like me to be involved. Really like the way this platform only contacts me about issues i’ve expressed an interest in.

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.

I have supported causes for 16 years I have supported causes for 16 years on Avaaz, for indigenous people, for women's right and for the nature. Avaaz has always represented all kind of people, and they continously inform and involve the members and those interested. I know there has been and is a certain unbalance regarding e.g. the Middle East, but no worry - you are always welcome to make your own petition! And like anyone else, I can simply choose what to sign and what not to sign. I never got any spam from them. I have supported 7-8 causes without problems. I also supported monthly for 2 years, and had to stop 2 years ago. I emailed them, and they cancelled my monthly payment. I startet again 6 months ago, because they do a highly important job. Greetings from Finn Larsen, Denmark!

Spider sense is tingling Spider sense is tingling. Something does not feel right. Got an email about making it sound like Russia is acting on behalf of their own self interest as compared to promoting white supremacy in partnership with USA which is a cancerous clone of the UK. We seem to be looking at an effort to confuse activists as to who the true enemy is, Europeans and white people. Not Russians acting on their own.
