Avaaz is an American-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. The word "avaaz" means voice in several Asian and European languages.[1] [2] In 2012, The Guardian referred to Avaaz as "the globe's largest and most powerful online activist network".[3]
