Hi! I just read this email and I thought it may interest you. The international advocacy movement, Avaaz.org is hosting its first online global community meeting next Tuesday - to watch Obama's historical inauguration speech, share ideas, and talk about next steps on the journey to making the world a better place. Have a look at the site now - and then join us on Tuesday!

See below for more details -- and please spread the word!

Dear friends,

This Tuesday, Barack Obama will give his inaugural speech as the new US President, carried live on TV networks around the world. To mark this historic moment of hope and change, Avaaz is hosting our first online global community meeting for us to watch the speech together, share our ideas, and talk about next steps on the journey to making the world a better place.

The speech event will occur from 11AM New York, 2PM Rio, 5PM Geneva, 12AM Hong Kong. Click below to see the hub page where we'll be able to make comments, take polls, send Obama a message directly while we watch the speech - we can even start the discussion now:

This new president is a chance to put an end to years of failed US Administration policy - and to celebrate the possibilities of hope. The expectations for Obama are high and the pressures on him to stop short of his campaign promises are powerful. But together our push for real change --  as well as inspiring words -- has only just begun. Catch other Avaaz members online at our global meeting place as together we plan how to work with and influence the new Obama government.

Some of us might be at work when Obama speaks, some at home in front of the TV, but either way it will be inspiring to keep the computer open to the Avaaz hub page and share this moment with Avaaz members around the world. The Obama hub is already humming with ideas and comments -- we can join the online conversation now by clicking below:

Movements are built on moments. And our movement for a better world has something to celebrate with the election of Obama. He has promised to reverse President Bush's policies on climate change and human rights, and work closely with the global community to tackle poverty and injustice. None of it will be possible without sustained global citizen engagement -- change won't happen overnight, and it won't happen without great effort. But let's share this moment together, and talk about how to engage and influence this new and listening president.

Obama's inauguration is not just important as a symbol of hope -- it signals the possibilities of a people-powered movement. Left to the bureaucracy of government and the pressures of conservatives, many of our highest goals risk failure. At avaaz.org/obama, we can avoid the TV station's talking heads, listen to the next President of the United States set out his statement of intent and comment purposefully with fellow Avaaz members around the world:
