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!

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.

Avaaz makes sure that everyone is free… Avaaz makes sure that everyone is free to believe or support their campaigns at their own will. A harmless email is send to you. While for instance Greepeace keep on spamming by phone and even post once you donated. That means that they used my sponsored money for getting my money and not for the course I donated the money to. With Avaaz I never felt spammed. If you feel attacked by them it’s your own believe that keeps you from signing a petition.

Keep well clear of this outfit Keep well clear of this outfit. They mix genuine causes with ones on their own political agenda and certainly would never be accepted as a UK charity. Shame as they had good intentions when they started but like all organisations appear to have lost their way

Just sign important petitions I just sign the more important petitions , I rarely get spam and its only for important petitions that I'm happy to sign . They are like many charities that have one off donations and standing order donations that repeat every month , it's a bit too easy to press for repeat donations by mistake and it's quite hard to correct the mistake . Loss a star for that . Currently they have 1.4 Million signatures on a petition to Trial Putin for war crimes , I think that's pretty good .
