With 38 million members, Avaaz usually focuses and galvanizes support on critical issues, locally & globally. Instead of activism, it has been great to see them come from a place of giftivism -- a positive 'what are we for' place than being focused 'against' something. Here are the their three core values for 2015, that several hundred thousand people pledged for: 
 

Show Kindness and Respect: We will show kindness and respect towards ourselves and others whenever possible. And it's always possible, because everyone we meet is fighting a battle we may know nothing about.

Strive for Wisdom: We will seek to be wise in our decisions, listening deeply to ourselves and others, and balancing our heads, hearts and intuitions in a harmony that feels right.

Practice Gratitude: We will regularly reflect on what we're grateful for, because it brings perspective, dissolves negativity, and grounds us in what's most important.

I was so moved to see them focus on kindness, respect and gratitude! You all at ServiceSpace are contagious. This is a definite sign about the maturing of the protest movement!
