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

Donations without my permission In 2017 I did a small monthly donation so they had my creditcard. By 2022 I saw that it ended up in 5 different monthly donations of campaings I have never heard of. I was donating almost 30 euro each month not being aware of it. I have signed some petitions trough the years but not given permission to donation. When I contacted them they refunded me directly for the last year, but not longer than that. I think it's criminal what they are doing so never give them your creditcard and check your account carefully!

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.

A formidable organisation A formidable organisation. Anything or anyone that can mobilise and draw together such large numbers of diverse people from around the world for the greater good is to be commended. It's founding principles are sound. More of it needed to oppose the dying order of the mass right wing media . !
