START YOUR PETITION - share a petition in many different organizations. Animal Rights, Human Rights, Education, Health, Environment/Wildlife, Media/Culture, Women Rights and Politics.
We’ve spent the last few weeks thinking of you -- the people that make this movement.
We’ve been reflecting on all the work we’ve done together this year: the millions of signatures to pressure leaders, the heartfelt messages to decision makers, the public actions and deliveries, the donations we made to save lives.
It’s because of you that this movement is creating the kind of change in the world that none of us could ever achieve alone.
We wanted you to see our faces, hear our voices, and, hopefully, feel our gratitude for the role you play in Avaaz –so we made this video. For you. Here it is below:
Legendary activist and author, Joanna Macy, once wrote: “If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.”
In a world that can feel completely insane and off balance, it makes sense to want to give up or only focus on our own needs. But we didn’t do that this year. We joined together in campaigns. We put our names and voices to causes far beyond ourselves.We stood up for our planet, for others facing horror and hunger, for animalswho lack the words to speak for themselves.
It might feel like a small thing to be a member of Avaaz, something you may barely think about.But the campaigns, the direct aid, the advocacy that happens through Avaaz would not exist without you, because Avaaz is the sum total of all of us: regular people around the world united in our hopes and dreams for a better world, combining our efforts for a bigger result.
We are those ordinary people Joanna Macy is talking about, andwhen we act together, we are acting with millions.
The Avaaz staff deeply hopes this video brings you a smile. It’s just a little thank you, a little gift. The real honoring of your contributions is of course, that we’re already deep at work to make sure 2024 is an even more impactful year where together, we can help create a more balanced and just world.
With deep appreciation,
Nell, Fey, Alice, Christoph, Sam, and the rest of the Avaaz team
