The EarthAction Network consists of 1,800 citizen groups in 152 countries. Several times a year, EarthAction focuses on one specific global issue, distributing an Action Alert to its network. Hundreds of organizations act together around the world to contact their political representatives, to raise the issue with their local media and to mobilize their members. More than 1,000 national legislators and journalists already subscribe to receive EarthAction’s Alerts. EarthAction has helped to save rainforests, protect indigenous peoples, and strengthen international agreements on environment, development and human rights.

Building on this existing network, EarthAction is now using the growing power of the Internet. Planet postcards and campaign material appear on the web site and can be downloaded and emails can be selected and mailed directly from the site to political representatives.
