Wow - $70,000 raised in 24 hours! And not a peep from "Fox News North"... Let's keep it going!

Dear amazing Avaaz community across Canada,



Our campaign to keep "Fox News North" from getting special access to our cable fees is working! The media giant behind the project has launched a massive assault on Avaaz in response, including smear pieces and intimidation tactics -- threatening a lawsuit with a 24 hour deadline. Let's give them our answer by raising a large campaign fund to win the fight for Canadian media and democracy:




In just 6 days, our petition to stop "Fox News North" from getting special access to our cable fees has exploded to over 75,000 signatures!

Together, we can stop Harper and his crony-media -- which is why "Fox News North" has launched a full scale attack on Avaaz: with smear pieces attacking us in their own newspapers. They've also admitted suspicious insider knowledge of a criminal sabotage of our petition -- fraudulently signing up key journalists to discredit us in the press as spammers. And we've received a letter from their lawyers threatening to sue us if we don't change our petition within 24 hours!

This is how big corporate power and their friends work to silence people's voices, using loads of cash, dirty tricks, expensive lawyers, and a media empire to smear their enemies and sue them into submission. But Avaaz is an online community of hundreds of thousands Canadians -- together, we're far stronger than any crony-corporation. They've given us a 24-hour ultimatum: Let's show them their intimidation tactics will backfire, and send a clear message back by raising a massive campaign fund by their own deadline. The more money we donate, the stronger message we send. Click below to stand up to "Fox News North" in the press and the courts:
