Spent time late Thursday evening learning about the organization that posted that Tweet,
Avaaz and downloaded
its
2014 990 only to see that on page 34, "AVAAZ FOUNDATION IS
COMPRISED OF TWO MEMBERS: RES PUBLICA (US) INC. AND MOVEON.ORG".
Boasting over 22 million members, the site is peppered various campaigns including an anti-Trump, and a Pro-Palestine campaign. It also claims that
France was the winning vote that
saved the internet.
Partial Overview - Origin of Membership
France: 4.22 million
Germany: 2.29 million
Brazil: 9.8 million
And reminiscent of
We Bought a Zoo, Avaaz bought a
rainforest.
I was unaware of such world organizations attempting to influence the outcome of an election before. Avaaz created a tool to engage those 8 Million US
ex pats to do just that with
slick auto-fill templates and fields to share email
addresses of other ex pats.
Avaaz: We focus on tipping-point moments of crisis and opportunity.
