The news is a cascade of horror.

Gaza has become a "graveyard" for children. Trump illegally sends in troops as families are ripped apart in the US, while people in Iran wake up to deadly missiles. Indigenous leaders are getting death threats for defending the Amazon -- and countless families are starving in war zones around the world.

Authoritarianism is spreading like wildfire, igniting wars, silencing dissent, and tearing down human rights. Just when we need solidarity the most, governments are slashing aid and walking away from global commitments.

But here's the thing: the fire is also in us.

We are not powerless. Every day, Avaaz members like you are proving it -- through small acts of fierce compassion that ripple across the world:

• As the Taliban hunts down women activists, our donations are helping them to reach safety, right now.
• When Indigenous leaders get death threats for protecting the Amazon, Avaaz members are helping to fund their 24/7 security.
• And when Sudan's emergency kitchens ran out of food, risking the lives of thousands and thousands, members chipped in to get them running again.

We've done it all without governments or billionaires -- it's just people like us refusing to look away.

This is a fundraiser to grow our life-saving work to meet the crucial moment we're in.

Your support today will fuel our campaign to help end the atrocities in Gaza and safeguard Indigenous lands in the Amazon. Together we could scale up efforts to protect civilians and end the war in Sudan, and fight for bold new laws to rein in the tech oligarchs poisoning our daily lives.

Your regular donation makes an immediate difference for the most vulnerable across the world. Please give what you can now.
