Defend Democracy - Power Avaaz

Defend Democracy - Power Avaaz

Democracy is under full-scale attack, worldwide.

Russia's President has forged an alliance with the far-right, and deployed an army of hackers and trolls, legions of fake social media accounts, and suitcases full of dirty money to sabotage our public debate and elections.

A new Oxford University study confirms that vast sums -- hundreds of millions -- are being spent on such tactics to manipulate us. Crucial elections are approaching in the US, Brazil, Europe, India and more -- the world is at a tipping point.

But this is a moment Avaaz was made for.

The threat we're up against is everywhere, but so are we. That threat is political, but we can be too when we need to be. That threat claims to be people-powered, but we're the REAL people power. And some battle the far-right with hate and anger, but we know that just feeds them -- that hope and love and smart strategy is how we'll win the world we ALL want.

All that makes this moment not just an opportunity for our movement, but a responsibility. Let's rise to it. Give just the price of a cup of coffee per week and power the effort to defeat the trolls, save democracy, and protect everything we love.
