Once upon a time, life almost ended on Earth.

The 'Great Dying' was the largest mass-extinction in history -- caused by temperatures rising so fast, it killed 90% of all life.

But today the planet is heating even faster, and species are going extinct at a much higher rate. If we don't change course, scientists warn that total ecosystem collapse is "inevitable."

We must end the age of fossil fuels, before it ends us.

So this year, the gloves come off! First, we'll unite to stop the world's worst pipeline ripping through East Africa. It would displace thousands of families, shred protected forests -- and unleash 1.4 BILLION barrels of oil that we cannot afford to burn. The next 2 months are critical.

We'll storm shareholder meetings, fuel powerful protests, and fight its construction in court. But launching one epic battle isn't enough. So we'll also rise for new Amazon protections, and supercharge a historic lawsuit that would force governments into radical climate action. That one legal case could accelerate our fight like never before.

We are absolutely committed to stopping another Great Dying. But we need you with us.

Avaaz is 100% funded by people like you: the more we raise, the harder we can fight. If we each chip in just a little, we can grow our movement into a thundering force for change. We simply have to.

If you're alarmed by government delays and empty promises while the planet burns, then join us. Let's make 2023 a turning point for life on Earth. Donate what you can now!
