Meaning "voice" in several European, Middle Eastern, and Asian languages, as the website notes, Avaaz has been a powerful voice toward a change in hundreds of areas of our beautiful planet, ranging from the Beginning of the End of Fossil Fuels to Creating Massive Marine Reserves, from an Anti-Corruption Revolution in Brazil to Saving Bees from Killer Pesticides.

We highly recommend you sign up with the website and wait for emails that will steer you to new actions to be taken regularly. It is very easy to use and you will be a part of the change with just one click.

Notes of the website

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.

Avaaz empowers millions of people from all walks of life to take action on pressing global, regional and national issues, from corruption and poverty to conflict and climate change. Our model of internet organising allows thousands of individual efforts, however small, to be rapidly combined into a powerful collective force. (Read about results on the Highlights page.)

The Avaaz community campaigns in 15 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.
