Avaaz Community 10 million strong thru Taking Action !!!

blockquote>

Dear Incredible Avaazers,

Just a few hours ago, our community reached 10 million people!

10 million of us. From every nation, every walk of life. Hopeful, and serious about creating the world we all dream of. Campaign after campaign, we’re winning. Not just the little fights, the big ones, the ones they said couldn’t be won. And we’re just getting started.

There’s never been a community like this before – and we’re accelerating – growing by 4 million in the last 9 months! If we stick together, anything’s possible. The world may be awash with fear and fatalism, but people power is on the march everywhere, and together we’re renewing and sustaining the most powerful force for change ever known…

Hope.

With enormous gratitude for every person in this extraordinary community,
Ricken, Alice, Luis, Ben, Ari, Saravanan, Wissam, Diego, Mia and the entire Avaaz team.

LIVESTREAM

Thousands of Americans have non-violently occupied Wall St — an epicentre of global financial power and corruption. They are the latest ray of light in a new movement for social justice that is spreading like wildfire from Madrid to Jerusalem to 146 other cities and counting, but they need our help to succeed.

As working families pay the bill for a financial crisis caused by corrupt elites, the protesters are calling for real democracy, social justice and anti-corruption. But they are under severe pressure from authorities, and some media are dismissing them as fringe groups. If millions of us from across the world stand with them, we’ll boost their resolve and show the media and leaders that the protests are part of a massive mainstream movement for change.

This year could be our century’s 1968, but to succeed it must be a movement of all citizens, from every walk of life. Click to join the call for real democracy — a giant live counter of every one of us who signs the petition will be erected in the centre of the occupation in New York, and live webcasted on this web page. Sign up now!

PS. – We’ll celebrate this milestone soon in a big way – this quick note is just to share the moment right now. And here’s some recent features in the media about our amazing journey and what we’ve accomplished together, in the Guardian, the Economist and the Times.
