Trump is cracking down on his opponents, and he has the full weight of the US state behind him. We've campaigned hard against his vicious brand of politics for a decade. We know he holds a grudge -- and we're vulnerable.
In the past year, we've seen:
- Organisations like Avaaz reportedly being added to Trump administration "lists" for investigation
- A new plan by the US government to crack down on progressive civil society, which it describes as "a vast domestic terror movement"
- The threat of US-based non-profits being slapped with huge taxes
- Organisations and officials working on global human rights being hit with devastating sanctions.
As the CEO of Avaaz, I'll tell you this: We won't be silenced. But we must protect ourselves -- strengthening our legal defences, increasing digital security, and moving critical operations out of the US.
We don't want to divert money from the critical campaigns we're running. So I'm asking for your help. Will you donate just a small amount to keep Avaaz safe for the year ahead? Please give what you can now.
