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

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

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.

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 . !

Avaaz supports equal rights for people and planet Avaaz provides support to equal rights for all people and our planet. Especially to those who cannot hire expensive lawyers or those who are up against powerful politicians or corporations who focus on short term gains rather than a fair and prosperous world for all, including future generations. They provide active updates on what they have done with my support, be that in the form of just my signature or a financial contribution.

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!
