The Doomsday Clock was created by scientists to symbolise the urgent dangers to human civilisation, and our proximity to "midnight" -- in other words, our destruction.
It's now at 90 seconds to midnight -- the closest it's ever been.
We are boiling our planet and shattering the temple of life. Nuclear war is suddenly a real threat, and millions are fleeing unliveable heat, drought, and famine. But it's not too late.
We just asked Avaazers everywhere to help set our priorities at this critical time, and now have a bold plan of action for this year. If we raise enough, we will:
- Go all out for the Amazon -- mobilising millions of people to fight alongside Indigenous communities to win new protections and end illegal logging and mining;
- Fight the world’s worst oil pipeline -- we'll organise to stop a planet-cooking pipeline in East Africa, and unite to help end the age of fossil fuels;
- Defend democracy -- together we'll campaign to protect democracy from far-right threats, safeguard human rights, and make our voices heard in crucial elections;
- Demand governments tax corporations and the super-rich, freeing up funds to reduce inequality and power the transition to renewable energy;
- And respond at lightning speed to shocking world events, like wildfires, earthquakes, and deadly famine, mobilising millions of dollars to support those who need it most.
For the world of our dreams, for our children, and for all life on Earth, chip in what you can now.
