About AVAAZ

Our mission
As major new challenges like climate change and escalating religious
conflict threaten our common future, people from around the world are coming
together to take global politics into their own hands. www.Avaaz.org (Our
name means "Voice" or "Song" in several languages including Hindi, Urdu,
Farsi, Nepalese, Dari, Turkish, and Bosnian) is a community of global
citizens who take action on the major issues facing the world today. Our aim
is to ensure that the views and values of the world's people -- and not just
political elites and unaccountable corporations -- shape global decisions.
Avaaz.org members are taking action for a more just and peaceful world and a
vision of globalization with a human face.

In our inter-connected world, the actions of political leaders and
corporations are having a profound impact on all of us. To match the power
and reach of global leaders and borderless corporations, Avaaz.org members
are building a powerful movement of citizens without borders. As citizens
without borders, we might not have the resources of governments,
corporations or the media, but working together we can bring together
millions of people around the world and make global public opinion really
count on major global issues like poverty, climate change, human rights and
global security.

Using the latest technology, Avaaz.org empowers ordinary people from every
corner of the globe to directly contact key global decision-makers,
corporations and the media. By signing up to receive updates from Avaaz.org,
members receive emails and text messages alerting them to new campaigns and
opportunities to act online and offline, and to make a real difference on
pressing global issues. 

Our team
Avaaz.org was co-founded by Res Publica, a global civic advocacy group, and
www.MoveOn.org, an online community that has pioneered internet advocacy in
the United States. Avaaz.org was developed and established by a group of
social entrepeneurs who have worked at the intersection of global justice
issues and new online organizing techniques. Avaaz.org's individual
co-founders are Executive Director Ricken Patel, Jeremy Heimans, David
Madden, Eli Pariser, Tom Perriello, Tom Pravda and Andrea Woodhouse.
Avaaz.org is managed by a small team of campaigners on four continents. The
Avaaz team conducts research on campaigns, prepares rapid-response Avaaz
action alerts and notifies the media of Avaaz.org campaigns. Our campaign
team consults with Avaaz.org members to develop campaigns and uses their
feedback to set the priorities of the organisation. www.Avaaz.org also
enjoys the partnership and support of leading activist organizations from
around the world, including the Service Employees International Union, a
founding partner of Avaaz, www.GetUp.org.au, and many others.
