Avaaz is a U.S. based nonprofit organization launched in January 2007 that promotes global activism on issues such as climate change, human rights, animal rights, corruption, poverty, and conflict.

Avaaz—meaning "voice" in several European, Middle Eastern and Asian languages was launched 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. Our model of internet organising allows thousands of individual efforts, however small, to be rapidly combined into a powerful collective force.
