Earlier quoted context omitted.

I strangely like the tone of that careers page but unfortunately I'm in Austin.

I'd still encourage you to get in touch -- right now we're hiring specifically for Dallas, but we're definitely going to keep expanding the Austin mothership, and we're always on the hunt for awesome people.

just curious, but any possibility of rem0te within the U.S.? also do you have a email address to contact you at?

I can confirm that Avaaz are a great organization. They're very effective (but mostly unknown in the US), professional, and it'd be an honor to work with them. Happy to answer any questions. (I'm not now or have ever been on staff, but am a "member", and consider myself friends with many on their team) sayhar@gmail.com

I think they may need to clean up or edit their Wikipedia page. For example, in the See Also section "Slacktivism" is one of the links and in general reading the page gives a pretty bad impression. I totally believe what you're saying but when someone (like me) who doesn't know anything about Avaaz and tries to get a third-party independent view of them it doesn't look pretty.
