Cover Story: Giving Voice
Avaaz.org’s unique, empowering approach allows supporters to help shape its agenda, giving them a more intense connection to the outcome and making it easier to raise funds and encourage other actions.
"Avaaz" means "voice" in many Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European languages. And giving voice to ordinary citizens around the world using the power of technology and the Internet is what Avaaz.org is all about. Co-founded by global civic advocacy group Res Publica and Internet advocacy pioneer Moveon.org, it uses e-mail to organize and mobilize its 4 million members around causes ranging from the environment and human rights to poverty, corruption and war.
