About Avaaz

Avaaz is a leading international organization focused on campaigning and advocacy, boasting a membership of nearly 70 million globally. We're a prominent force in online activism, rallying individuals worldwide to address pressing issues such as human rights, environmental protection, combating disinformation, and safeguarding democracy.

Our unique model empowers individuals to unite their voices for collective action during critical moments, driving meaningful change on global challenges ranging from climate crisis to human rights violations. For over a decade, we have actively campaigned for Palestinian rights, and this year, we will embark on an ambitious project to further support their pursuit of equity and self-determination.

Avaaz relies solely on small donations from its dedicated members, ensuring our independence and unwavering commitment to addressing the world's most urgent needs.

Position Overview

The Palestinian people are facing one of the most painful chapters in their history, with over 30,000 people killed in Gaza, close to 10,000 imprisoned, and the expansion of violence in the West Bank. At this moment, the struggle for Palestinian rights is more urgent and important than ever, and this struggle must be led by Palestinian voices. This is why Avaaz is building a team that can help mobilize strategic, people-led local and global action that can help achieve the change needed.

At the core of this project will be a coordinator who will organize various elements of international civil society organizations working on Israel/Palestine. The coordinator position will support the delivery of large-scale change efforts by leading the research, development, and implementation of campaigns and projects focused on the pursuit of freedom, justice, dignity and peace. This position will report to one of Avaaz’s Senior Campaign Directors, a leading figure in the campaign movement for Palestinian rights.
