A third of all animals and plants on earth face extinction — endangered blue whales, coral reefs, and a vast array of other species. Public pressure is needed to ensure the bold action will be done to avert the collapse of ecosystem the world over.
JUST signed the petition prepared by Avaaz.org for the call to urgently create, execute and fund the protection of 20% of our oceans and lands by 2020.

Signed the Cancelation of Haiti’s Debt petition, organized by Avaaz.org.
The call for full cancelation of Haiti’s debt is building steam across the world, and has won over some leaders — but other rich lender countries are rumoured to be resisting. JUST joined the global call for justice, mercy and common sense for the people of Haiti.

JUST signed the petition prepared by Avaaz.org in response to the urge President Obama to sign the global landmine treaty.

Voted Yes for Climate. This vote was organized by Avaaz.org.
On climate, it’s now or never. We have just over 100 days left to reach a new global treaty to avert climate disaster (and unleash a new green economy) — but we’re nowhere near getting it done. We have a choice to make: should we pull out all the stops this month to beat climate change?

Signed the “Time to Global Zero” petition; organized by Avaaz.org.
The only real solution to the proliferation crisis is the elimination of all nuclear weapons worldwide. This petition calls for global zero and bring a powerful democratic voice to the US-Russia summit. What’s needed now is a massive surge of people power urging the US and Russia to take these bold steps to achieve global zero. Now, an alliance of the sound advice of security experts and the democratic force of citizens worldwide has a realistic possibility of achieving this goal. In the face of a deepening crisis, the summit next week is a tremendous opportunity for human progress. Let’s pile on the pressure to seize it.

Signed “The call for targeted sanctions on the Guinean junta” petition organized by Avaaz.org.
Over 150 civilians were killed when the military opened fire on a peaceful pro-democracy rally in the West African country of Guinea. Women were raped and people were bayoneted on the streets as they tried to escape — a terrifying message to a nation crying out to elect a democratic, civilian government for the first time.

Signed the “tcktcktck” petition; organized by Avaaz.org
The G8’s climate goal could be scrapped, as Canada, Russia, and Japan try to block a commitment to cap warming below 2 degrees. With street stunts and top-level meetings, Avaaz will bring a global voice to the summit in Italy, calling for climate action.

Signed the “Obama: ‘Stop the Settlements’ ” petition; organized by Avaaz.org.
This petition is based on Barack Obama’s call to stop illegal Israeli settlements. President Obama is taking a bold step, and we need to do everything we can to support him. President Obama’s speech in Egypt was a stunning step toward achieving Middle East peace. His first new move: to press Israel’s right-wing government to stop their self-destructive policy of building settlements on Palestinian land. But Obama needs help from around the world to face down the powerful opposition already mobilising against him. Let’s raise a massive global chorus immediately to support Obama’s statement that the settlements in occupied territory must stop, by joining our voices to a petition based on his very own words.
