THE AMERICAN MOVEMENT FOR WORLD GOVERNMENT
World Federalist groups since 1905 had made attempts to cooperate in the U.S. When the (former) World Federalist Association focused on a gradual approach similar to that of the United Nations, the American Movement for World Government (AMWG) was established by Wm. H. D. Cox Jr. (Bill Cox) in 1955 along with many other respected leaders in the movement (see website below). AMWG created a new home for "all" American world federalists, including those that favored a constitutional convention. And, AMWG played a significant role in creating the Coalition for Democratic World Government.

AMWG believes that the growing and unregulated power of transnational corporations, along with superpower preemptive unilateral strikes, strongly suggests that NOW is the time to push for world government.

AMWG is associated with World Peace News (see below) and invites readers to subscribe to WPN.

We invite you to join AMWG. Basic dues are $35.00 per calendar year. Send check payable to AMWG to Frances Jellinek, Treasurer AMWG, 104 Paradise Harbor Blvd. #515, North Palm Beach, FL 33408.

THE ASHBURN INSTITUTE
The Ashburn Institute, established in 2004, is a non-profit organization emerging out of the Association to Unite the Democracies, an organization born in 1939 to promote international peace through federation of the world's democracies.

We are dedicated to uniting democratic nations, by promoting democracy and cooperation. We do this through educational and cultural exchanges among the representatives of the global community. We organize and sponsor conferences, discussions and forums in order to bring together students, academics and professionals worldwide to contemplate and find solutions to the challenges and opportunities of democratization and cooperation.

Increased cooperation among the peoples of the world will ultimately lead to greater peace, more freedom, and the eventual integration of democratic nations. Greater cooperation and federation will create an environment in which fledging democracies can thrive, and attract other democracies to join. We believe that a federation of democracies is the most effective means to address the common problems of all peoples.

CITIZENS FOR A UNITED EARTH
Citizens for a United Earth (CUE) exists to promote global thinking and global citizenship, leading to a positive, sustainable future for all passengers of spaceship earth. Our roots are in the nuclear disarmament movement, but we now believe world peace cannot be achieved without addressing hunger, poverty, ignorance, injustice, overpopulation, and environmental damage, and especially renewable energy, as well as war.

We send out periodic emails on subjects related to peace and the global future--The [PEACE] List--and invite you to subscribe from our website.

We print and distribute FREE bumper stickers featuring the Earth Dot (a light blue solid circle representing the earth seen from space). Messages include: World Peace, Many Colors-One Human Family, Every Child Deserves a Future that Works, There are No Foreigners, Earth is our Neighborhood, and many more.

People increasingly know about the world's problems. But before they can accept democratic world government, they need help arriving at a new, self-consistent and positive vision of the human future. Until that vision takes root, people will continue to reject global governance as unrealistic.

CONSULTATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE PEOPLE'S CONGRESS
Many individuals and groups are working toward global justice. Many of these have a presence on the Internet. Some deal with world governance, direct democracy, or new economic democracy, and most are concerned with the environment and sustainability.

The Community of World Citizens has merged with the Consultative Assembly of the People's Congress to contribute to the coordination of these separate efforts.

Coordination can present a problem. If different initiatives are brought together in an “ours vs. theirs” way, effectiveness may be lost. We promote a new perspective allowing for a common “ours”, “theirs” as a pool of resources, and democratic procedures to connect the two.

Join us! Our website tells how to declare yourself as a world citizen, publicize the idea, interact with others cooperatively, and help us develop the fully democratic tools the world needs.

We seek both organizations and individuals to associate themselves with us, including political, governmental, and non-governmental.

Group participation will clear the way for political action within the assembly of world citizens.

DEMOCRATIC WORLD FEDERALISTS (Formerly WFNCA)
Since the 1940’s, we have been promoting awareness of the concept of good global government, and urging the creation of a democratic world federation. This could be achieved in many ways, including restructuring and democratizing the United Nations.

In 2004 we became an independently incorporated tax exempt educational organization, with supporters in 15 states and 3 other countries. Our quarterly newsletter, Toward Democratic World Federation, has been in print for 14 years, with a circulation of about 1,200, throughout the US and in two dozen other countries.

The citizens of the world are sovereign, and have the right to participate in self-government, delegating their powers at any level they see fit. The United Nations is not a government; and a world government is needed to address the global problems of war, civil conflict, poverty, disease, environmental damage, and to uphold human rights.

This is the federalist message that we bring to movements for peace, human rights, and social justice. We have speaking engagements, email messages, letters to the media and to politicians, and work with other organizations as well as with the public. Visit our website (below) for more information, literature, and ways to get involved.

GLOBAL CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION
It's official. At the Genome Project announcement in Washington and London it was declared that there is only one race--the human race. Black, brown, white, yellow, red, and tartan we are one people. People are people are people. But there is no self-government for the global village.

Global Citizens' Association is a non-profit, non-partisan corresponding world network supporting the notion of planetary citizenship, the brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind, the Nation of Humanity. No paid staff or office. Supported by donations and volunteers.

Proposed for funding: an experimental, exploratory Global Assembly with nominated delegates from existing political jurisdictions of ten million--sub-national, mega-cities or nation-states with electronic weighted voting by population with a global perspective agenda set by the Assembly.

We publish a monthly newsletter: Purple Dawn. Free to donors; others $12 per year. Contact newsletter editor Duncan Graham.

GLOBAL CONSTITUTION FORUM
We are planning a four-day conference focused on the eventual creation of a Constitution for Earth. The first annual gathering will be in Philadelphia, September 14-17, 2005, at the birthplace of federalist government, where the U.S. Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787.

Rather than specifically creating a particular document at this stage, our focus will be on fostering DEPTH and BREADTH in the peace movement.

By depth we intend that there be opportunity for full participation in deep dialogue with all other attendees, so each day will include face-to-face discussions of key substantive issues, such as (1) the desirability of world federalism; (2) whether it can be structured to assure respect for individual freedom, local autonomy, and participatory democracy; (3) its appropriate scope (minimalist vs. maximal) and values; and (4) strategies for implementation (practical ratifiability issue). With annual conferences, attendees will get to know one another well: of value in itself.

By breadth we intend outreach to a general public that has been mostly unaware of our goals and ideas. We intend to find ways to involve youth, especially the many college students in this area (there are 90 colleges in this region). We plan to do presentations to college classes before this conference. Besides top-flight speakers and analysis sessions, we will attract publicity with nationally known musicians. We will have simultaneous translations and some videoconferencing with sites worldwide.

HOME RULE GLOBALLY
Home Rule Globally is a nonprofit corporation which sponsors and coordinates a constellation of projects. HRG emphasizes both voluntarism and the desirability of adequate; but constitutionally restricted, governmental authority over individuals and corporate entities when government is appropriate. HRG's decentralism stresses local, regional, and provincial government with minimal government at national, continental, and global levels. For about 500 years, over-centralization at the national level has endangered humanity. A constitution for a world government should "de-fang" nations by abolishing all national monetarism and all national militarism. Provinces and towns should handle whatever can plausibly be locally managed in a predominantly demilitarized world. HRG is a think-tank promoting research projects. Debates about alternative Proposals for a Constitution for a Supra-National Federation should be predominantly in provincial legislatures because such debates are irrelevant to coping with traditional treaty law.

The Contest Appraising Democratic World Government (CADWEWG) makes such shift of where the future should be debated. CADEWG requires 67% of world support, as measured by each of population, wealth, and military power before a Supra-National Federation would be launched. CADWEWG preserves the UN during a Dual Systems Era until each nation voluntarily joins such federation.

GLOBE-LIB is a worldwide membership organization for seekers of global liberty and government, sponsored by Home Rule Globally. Other HRG projects are Gentle Usurpation Institute, Ocean Biomass Institute, and Reproductive Freedom Institute.

THE INSTITUTE ON WORLD PROBLEMS
The Institute On World Problems (IOWP) is a dynamic, activist organization and think-tank dedicated to educating the people of Earth about the need for democratic world government under the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. The Institute works closely with the Graduate School of World Problems and the World Constitution and Parliament Association to promote a deep understanding of world problems, their interconnection, and their solution under the Earth Constitution.

The name and mission of the Institute On World Problems are taken from Article 8, Section D of the Earth Constitution. The Constitution for the Federation of Earth was drafted by many world citizens and international lawyers over a period of 33 years from 1958-1991. It has been created through the work of thousands of world citizens in three Constituent Assemblies and to date has held seven Provisional World Parliaments. All faculty and trustees of the Institute have personally ratified the Earth Constitution.

The Institute ahs been the official sponsor of the Sixth Provisional World Parliament in Bankok, Thailand in March 2003 and the Seventh Provisional World Parliament in Chennai, India in December 2003. Institute faculty teach in-depth seminars on world problems and the design of the Earth Constitution for addressing these problems. In addition to the offices listed below, the Institute has regional locations in Kara, Togo (West Africa), Lucknow, India, and Dhaka, Bangladesh.

The Institute is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the USA. Your membership in the Institute constitutes action on behalf of the Earth, Humanity, and future generations. Your support is gratefully acknowledged and carefully used where it will do the most good. Please visit our website!

MOVEMENT FOR UN REFORM 2007
The year 2007 marks the centenary of the Second Hague Peace Conference, which aimed at universal disarmament and binding international jurisdiction (going to court instead of going to war). UNFOR 2007, the Movement for the Reform of the United Nations 2007, was founded to promote public awareness and understanding of the issues of an effective U.N.

A primary concern is the Japanese Constitution’s Article 9, which is aimed at abolishing the institution of war. Article 9 can be the cornerstone of a UN system of collective security.

Collective security through the UN would rest on disarmament, limitations of national sovereignty, compulsory international jurisdiction, and the democratic representation of the Sovereign Peoples of the United Nations. Many countries already have written into their constitutions a provision to join such a collective security system if it is proposed.

The UN Charter envisions a process of one nation after another pooling its sovereignty with this reformed United Nations.

THE SAPIENS MOVEMENT, INC.
The Sapiens Movement was established in New Zealand in early 2005.

In the coming century, humanity will face unprecedented problems of rapid climate change and rapid population growth (and the wars that will accompany them.) The replacement of the current anarchy (of an international system governed by 190+ independent sovereign states) by a democratically elected federal world government, probably represents humanity’s best chance of being able to surmount the coming crises.

There are many different approaches to how such a democratic world government could be brought into existence. Sapiens is happy to cooperate with other organizations pursuing different routes to the same objective. Its own approach is to mobilise key opinion leaders, such as journalists, academics and influential business people, to move public opinion to demand of their governments that they take on a leadership role in this process.

Sapiens’ chosen route is that proposed by two professors of International Law, Richard Falk and Andrew Strauss. Initially, the ball is set rolling by persuading 20 – 30 selected national governments to surrender key aspects of their national sovereignty to a supranational democratically elected body set up between them. Chief among the rights surrendered will be that of waging war and the freedom to damage environmental areas held in common with others.

VOTE WORLD GOVERNMENT
We are a brand new (since August 2004) initiative for a world referendum to demand the creation of a democratic world government. We want a permanent state of world peace through world law.

We bring two basic ideas. One is a strategy, the concept of a world referendum on democratic world government, conducted on the Internet, as a means of collecting a powerful, if not irresistible, mandate upon which we can insist on the creation of a democratic world government. Second, we bring ideas for making DWG “corruption-proofed.” This is discussed on our website.

We ask you to go to our website and be among the first to record their vote for democratic world government. Classes, offices, churches, unions, sports teams, families and other groups can conduct their own mini-referendums, using ballots printed on paper (see the “Printable Ballot” link at the top of our site). We think people will welcome this kind of local initiative if they feel they are part of a new approach that has a chance of succeeding. The act of voting is democratic, and it brings with it the need to inform oneself, to debate issues and consider consequences.

We need money, volunteers, and advice, and ask you to contact us to see if there are ways we can work together.

WORLD CITIZEN REGISTRY (RECIM)
Registration as a world citizen is the basic step for the individual who recognizes that the time has come to organize the world as a whole and who undertakes to work for that new world.

The world citizen is a person who feels his solidarity with all others, who is convinced that world security cannot be assured by rival sovereign nations and who believes the only way to save humanity is to substitute world order for the present international disorder.

To this end, he or she demands:

  • world laws to guarantee to individuals and peoples their basic needs.
  • world institutions to draft, enact and enforce these laws.
  • a peoples' world convention, democratically elected by the peoples of the world, with the responsibility of defining and establishing the first world institutions.

The World Citizen Registry, also called Registre des Citoyens du Monde (RECIM), founded in 1949, has its head office at 66, Boulevard Vincent Auriol, 75013 PARIS, France. It supervises the issuing of World Citizen cards for all countries. It publishes a bulletin (RECIMinfo) in French, English, Spanish, Dutch, German and Esperanto.

The Registration Centres, created by World Citizen Registry, make mundialist arguments known, issue World citizen cards within their own country, and send out their own information bulletin, or RECIMinfo.

WORLD CONSTITUTION AND PARLIAMENT ASSOCIATION
 WCPA provides logistical support to convene consecutive sessions of a Provisional World Parliament, and a Founding Ratification Convention for inaugurating democratic federal world government, founded on the Constitution for the Federation of Earth.

This Earth Constitution features special origins:

  • elaborated by hundreds of people over more than 35 years;
  • from people of dozens of countries and all continents;
  • from nearly all walks of life;
  • scrutinized by many international lawyers, scientists and human rights specialists;
  • translated into 22 important world languages.
  • non-military - the system relies on legal force of civil police and citizens.
The Earth Constitution provides for sessions of Provisional World Parliament. Eight sessions have been held, enacting 30 world legislative statutes, providing an excellent legal basis for democratic world government. The law of the Provisional World Parliament is not subject to approval by national governments, but only subject to the duly-elected World Parliament, when that forms. We encourage a Founding Ratification Convention, for at least two dozen national governments to simultaneously ratify the Earth Constitution, thereby providing an impetus for rapid worldwide ratification by both nations and people.

THE WORLD FEDERALIST MOVEMENT
The World Federalist Movement is an international citizen's movement working for justice, peace, and sustainable prosperity. We call for an end to the rule of force, through a world governed by law, based on strengthened and democratized world institutions. We are inspired by the democratic principles of federalism.

WFM, located near the United Nations in New York, is an accredited non-government organization through the Economic and Social Council and an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States. WFM brings together 30 member and associated organizations and 30,000 individual members internationally.

WFM serves as the secretariat for the NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court, a 1,000+ coalition of civil society organizations advocating the swift creation of an effective and just international criminal court. WFM was also one of the principle organizers of the Hague Appeal for Peace, a global civil society conference held in May 1999 that brought together more than 10,000 activists from around the world.

WFM produces a quarterly newsletter, facilitates several email discussion lists, and maintains a Web site at "http://www.worldfederalist.org/".

THE WORLD GOVERNMENT INSTITUTE
There is just one world that we all must share. It is rich in resources, information and technology, but for the world to work for future generations we must share these cooperatively.

World Government Institute was founded in Pakistan in 1990 as a forum, with goals of establishing world government, developing an international currency, treating nations equally, and improving the world’s standard of living.

The United Nations is not a world government but only an instrument to be used by sovereign member states. The world government to which we are committed has a world Presidential Secretariat, a Ministry of Education, a Ministry of Finance, a political party based in Japan, an international Card Office, and more. We may not finish the work but we will give coming generations a base to build on.

We have World Government Institute organizations in Afghanistan, Andorra, Australia, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Canada, China, Congo, Ecuador, Egypt, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Lithuania, Mexico, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Togo, Turkey, UK, USA, and Zimbabwe.

CENTER FOR WAR/PEACE STUDIES
The Center for War/Peace Studies believes we are seeing gross planetary mismanagement because of an obsolete international political system based on full sovereignty for almost 200 nation-states. The United Nations cannot handle global problems because its Security Council veto makes the greatest powers exempt from its jurisdiction. The General Assembly can only make recommendations, and in it small states have a voting strength vastly disproportionate to their political/economic/military strength.

Our innovation is the Binding Triad weighted voting system for the U.N. General assembly. The Binding Triad would require just one amendment to the U.N. Charter. It would give the U.N. a legislative body, which it doesn't now have.

With the Binding Triad, the General Assembly would be able to make binding resolutions, if and only if three concurrent majorities of votes for a resolution were achieved:

  • one-nation-one-vote (same as now)
  • population, and
  • contributions to the U.N. budget.

The population "leg" of the triad introduces a strong element of democracy into U.N. decision-making. Contributions to the U.N., roughly based on a country's GNP, reflect the importance of having the countries that will have to pay most of the bills supporting legislation.

The Binding Triad system would protect against frivolous resolutions. But where balanced solutions to problems of peacekeeping, regional conflicts, drugs, international finance, and arms reductions can be found, this innovation would allow them to become law.

CITIZENS FOR GLOBAL SOLUTIONS
We envision a future in which nations work together to abolish war, protect our rights and freedoms, and solve the problems facing humanity that no nation can solve alone. This vision requires effective democratic global institutions that will apply the rule of law while respecting the diversity and autonomy of national and local communities.

We are a membership organization working to build political will in the United States to achieve our vision. We do this by educating Americans about our global interdependence, communicating global concerns to public officials, and developing proposals to create, reform, and strengthen international institutions such as the United Nations.

Today Citizens for Global Solutions promotes its vision and mission through member activism and grassroots advocacy, the support of political candidates who share our values, program initiatives like our International Criminal Court project, research and writing conducted by our "big-picture think tank" -- the World Federalist Institute, and education and outreach efforts nationwide.

INTERNATIONAL SIMULTANEOUS POLICY ORGANIZATION
International Simultaneous Policy Organization (ISPO) is a growing association of citizens worldwide who use their votes in a coordinated, effective way to drive all nations to co-operate in solving our planetary crisis.

Simultaneous policy requires governments in all jurisdictions at once, worldwide, to implement a policy shift at once, so that none is disadvantaged.

Citizens who "adopt" the Simultaneous Policy (SP) take the formulation of global policy into their own hands. Their adoption of SP represents their pledge to vote in future elections, not for a particular politician or political party, but for ANY politician or party - within reason - that pledges to implement SP when all or sufficient nations do likewise. With more and more parliamentary seats and even entire elections increasingly being won or lost on very small margins, a relatively small number of SP adopters have the opportunity to make it in the strong interests of all politicians and parties to pledge to implement SP while also making it potentially disastrous for them if they fail to do so. As such, ISPO claims that SP permits civil society, through its adoption of SP, for the first time to "lead governments, not the other way round".

Simultaneous initiatives are a way to avoid “prisoner's dilemma” type problems, wherein there is a strong reward for defecting, and a risk for going along with a proposed plan if there is even one defector.
