Olympic Handshake Ads - Mobile Billboards NYC & SF

During the Beijing Olympics, Avaaz spread an Olympic message of peace and hope to Chinese diaspora communities in New York and San Francisco by running a series of mobile billboards. The ads were part of our Handshake campaign to spread a powerful, unambiguous message of peace, friendship and dialogue to the Olympics and countries around the world. The ads spent a few days in the Chinatowns of these cities and then drove around the city centres. Check out the photos, below:

Olympic Handshake Ads - The London Adwalkers

On August 8, the opening day of the Beijing Olympics, Avaaz had a team of people walking on foot through central London, with billboards calling for meaningful dialogue from the Chinese on Darfur, Burma, and Tibet. It was part of our Handshake campaign to spread a powerful, unambiguous message of peace, friendship and dialogue to the Olympics and countries around the world. The adwalkers walked through Chinatown and then headed up to Trafalgar Square where the launch of the 2008 Olympics was being shown on jumbo Tv screens. Check out the photos, below:

Release the Korean Hostages (Killid Weekly (Pashto), Aug 2007)

When 21 Korean aid workers were kidnapped by the Taliban Avaaz quickly drafted a petition calling on the Afghan Pashtunwali code of "hospitality to all, especially guests and strangers" as an argument to release the hostages. The kidnapping is a clear violation of the code, offending the weary people of Afghanistan on whom they depend. Over 100,000 people answered the call which was published in the Afghan paper, the Killid Weekly. In the end the hostages were released.
