It's chilling -- suddenly our website is being blocked across the world -- from Egypt to China, Indonesia to Saudi Arabia. That’s 1.8 billion people!

These regimes want to silence us and cut us off from one another. It’s an attack on our whole connected global movement. But we have a plan.

The key is that Avaaz isn't really a website. We're a movement of over 45 million people reached mainly through email. If we build thousands of simple webpages on different sites, we can constantly change the page and site that each email links to within minutes of any one site being blocked! The censors won't be able to keep up.

We'll break the blackout.

With the right setup, it could cost us just $40 to switch between sites! So if enough of us chip in now, we can set up thousands of sites. Governments think they can silence us, let's prove them wrong, and break the blackout on Avaaz.
