Written by the company

Avaaz is a global web movement to bring people-powered politics to decision-making everywhere. Avaaz—meaning "voice" in several European, Middle Eastern and Asian languages—launched in 2007 with a simple democratic mission: organize citizens of all nations to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want. The Avaaz community campaigns in 17 languages, served by a core team on 6 continents and thousands of volunteers. We take action -- signing petitions, funding media campaigns and direct actions, emailing, calling and lobbying governments, and organizing "offline" protests and events -- to ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform the decisions that affect us all.

One Off Donations

I have had no problems with single donations to Avaaz but I did have a withdrawal problem with a computer company that was taking annual amounts because I did not read the SMALL PRINT. I immediately went to my bank and requested them to cease payments and they did. You can do the same.

Very disappointed in AVAAZ…

I am very disappointed to find that many months ago I sent Avaaz a 'once off' donation of R80.00, which they have just kept debiting my account with up until now, the latest date being 5th August 2021.
I specifically instructed that this was a once off payment which they are ignoring.
PLEASE delete my name from your subscriber list immediately, I do not have the funds to donate. The payment was a single and sincere donation only.

Thank you for your good work

Thank you for your good work! Hope you manage to keep it up inspite of the bad reviews I am shocked to see here - are they for real? No one who have really seen what you are acheiving could rate you low.
I will gladly receive your petition, but please make the fb posts more informativ. And if possible, add more contribution alternatives. Would be so much easier with swisch.

Jerks trying to be victims

They rant about how the actual oppressed people, people who don’t have the same mindset as them, like the people who think butchering babies is bad and that each individual is entitled to freedom, are the evil ones. We barely have a social media platform, most of the major organizations and news channels bombard us with biased news and go out of their way to hide or slander information, and the right almost never attacks anyone. But somehow they’re evil because they breath and Avaaz wants more money to fight against these supposedly evil people who already has the media and everyone else fighting against them. I liked it better when it was about stopping elephant poaching.

Donation cannot be canceled

It seems I'm not the only one who donated once and then continued to be ripped off even though I sent messages and asked for my donation to be canceled. I can't help getting the impression this organization is not what it says it is.

Great organization

They are doing a lot of great stuff. For different reasons, I needed to cancel my monthly donations. Within hours I got a polite thank you-letter where they immediately canceled my donation, and thanked for the support. Not at all like other reviews here are saying.

Scammers

Thought Avaaz were good until I tried to cancel my subscription. They're worse than the people they claim to oppose. Don't subscribe. they're rip off merchants, they will not answer your requests to unsubscribe

I cancelled Avaaz

I trusted a Avaaz but I decided to cancel my donations. I believe though they did a lot of important work in the past

But I couldn't send them an email, I went to my profile and removed my donation. However, they withdrawed money again from my account.

The solution was a cancellation of my credit card. It didn't cost me anything. But, really, Avaaz - this is not how you should behave...

FRAUDSTERS

FRAUDSTERS? Try as I might, I have not managed to cancel the donations, and I have no intention of paying endlessly. All the good they may be doing, and the goodwill I extended, is out the window as it seems they are common fraudsters, who don't give one an option which is simple and transparent to cancel donations.

A formidable organisation

A formidable organisation. Anything or anyone that can mobilise and draw together such large numbers of diverse people from around the world for the greater good is to be commended.
It's founding principles are sound. More of it needed to oppose the dying order of the mass right wing media . !

These people are absolute psychopaths

These people are absolute psychopaths. Terrible!

Do not sign their petitions! Signing just once will get you years of constant spamming with every stupid idea under the sun. All they do is whine about the "far-right" (Cough, anyone who doesn't agree with them) and how the "far-right" needs to be shut down, and then beg you for money to shut down the "far-right". Trust me, I've gotten some real gems! :( And it doesn't matter how many times you ask, THEY WON"T STOP SPAMMING YOU.
