Avaaz.org is a new global web movement with a simple democratic mission: to close the gap between the world we have, and the world most people everywhere want. Across the world, most people want stronger protections for the environment, greater respect for human rights, and concerted efforts to end poverty, corruption and war. Yet globalisation faces a huge democratic deficit as international decisions are shaped by political elites and unaccountable corporations - not the views and values of the world’s people. In less than three years, Avaaz has grown to over 3.5 million members, and has begun to make a real impact on global politics. The Economist writes that Avaaz is poised to deliver “a deafening wake up call” to world leaders, the Indian Express welcomes “the biggest web campaigner across the world” and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore says “Avaaz is inspiring, and has already begun to make a difference.”

Avaaz has teamed up with tcktcktck to gather signatories for a climate change petition that will be delivered to world leaders at the Copenhagen Climate summit.
