Ahoy!

It's climate crunch time: the nations of the world have
gathered in Bali, Indonesia for the most important climate
change negotiations in a decade. They have a chance to
massively ramp up the world's response to the climate
crisis--but there's a danger that they'll fail.



On Saturday, Avaaz is organizing a massive virtual march to
show the Bali delegates that the world's eyes are on them.
We'll carry flags and signs through the summit headquarters,
showing how many people from each country have signed the
Avaaz climate petition. You can sign the petition at this link--or
if you've already signed it, use our tool to send a message
about the virtual march to your friends and family:

virtual march on Bali

The virtual march is part of an international wave of climate
protests all planned for December 8. Together, we can create a
global cry on Saturday that the world's governments cannot
ignore. Please forward the email below to anyone who might
want to join!

Dear friends,

The most important climate change summit in years has just
begun in Bali, Indonesia.This week and next, delegates from
every nation will either launch the urgent negotiations for a
new binding, global treaty to solve this crisis --or they will blow
this historic opportunity and waste years of progress,
imperiling us all. With powerful forces lobbying for the status
quo, the outcome here is still very much up for grabs.

Here's what we can do to help:
Avaaz is working with groups around the world to organize a
massive citizen's march--a virtual march online, and dozens of
local marches in communities around the world--this Saturday,
Dec. 8th. Our goal? One million participants demanding that
their representatives at Bali start working right away towards a
new binding climate treaty.

To ensure the delegates hear our voice, Avaaz members will
march through the actual conference site in Bali on Saturday,
holding high the flags from nations where Avaaz members
have signed the climate petition. To join the global virtual
march on Bali and help get your flag included in the march,

this email to all your friends and family so we can hit 1 million
by Saturday!

Hundreds of thousands of people have already joined Avaaz's
campaign for a new global treaty on climate change, and
donated funds to fuel Avaaz's climate campaigning this fall.

Thanks to this support, we're able to work around the clock, on
the ground here in Bali, to deliver our urgent message to
governments and the media. Only a new global agreement can
stop catastrophic climate change, and such treaties can take
time to negotiate and implement--time that scientists tell us
could not be in shorter supply.

We simply cannot allow the forces of denial and delay scuttle
these all-important negotiations. We're in a race against time
to save our planet, and this week, it's up to us to pull ahead.

virtual march and we'll personally make sure every voice is
heard.
