Stand with Edward Snowden

This 29-year-old just gave up his whole life to blow the whistle on the US’s insane PRISM program -- which has hacked all our emails, Skype messages and Facebook posts for years. If millions of us act urgently and get behind him, we can help press the US to crack down on PRISM, not Edward!

Our $1 trillion chance

In days, G8 leaders could ensure rich companies stop dodging taxes. If a million of us sign in time, we can tip the balance and unlock $1trillion that can go towards the schooling and health our children need. Sign now!

Days to stop the whale massacre

One Icelandic man is about to hunt fin whales, then chop them into pieces and ship their meat to Japan for dog food! The best way to stop this massacre is to shame the Dutch Government, which allows the traffic of whale meat through Rotterdam, to refuse this bloody cargo -- sign now!

  • Photo The plan to kill orangutans

    It's the last place on Earth where endangered orangutans, tigers, rhinos and elephants roam free together. But mining companies and big agriculture want to rip the rainforest to shreds. If a million people call on Indonesia’s President to keep the chainsaws quiet, we can save this precious habitat.

  • Photo Obama -- Guantanamo ends now

    In 24 hours, President Obama could finally move to close Guantanamo -- the world’s most notoriously shameful prison camp. While he preps for a major speech this Thursday to respond to hunger-striking detainees, let's send him a massive message: no more excuses -- close this American gulag down!

  • Photo Stand with the Maasai

    Within hours, Tanzania's President Kikwete could start evicting tens of thousands of the Maasai from our land so hunters can come and kill leopards and lions. Last time Avaaz raised the alarm, the President shelved the plan. Global pressure can stop him again, and we urgently need your help.

  • Photo Monsanto vs. Mother Earth

    It’s unbelievable, but Monsanto and Co. are at it again. These profit-hungry biotech companies have found a way to exclusively ‘own’ something that freely belongs to us all -- our food! But we can pressure key European countries to slam the patent door shut on their destructive plans. Sign now!

  • Photo Victory! UN recognizes Palestine

    A few days ago, the UN voted overwhelmingly to recognise Palestine as the world's 194th state! It’s a huge victory for the Palestinian people, for peace, for our community, and people across the world are joining with massive crowds in Palestine to celebrate.

  • Photo Guilt-free clothing

    Hundreds of Bangladeshi women have been burned or crushed to death while making *our* clothes! In days, fashion companies could sign an agreement that will either be a strong safety code or a weak PR ploy. If 1 million of us get the CEOs of H&M and GAP to back a life-saving code, others will follow.
