How do we ensure that this is done for the people by the people of Earth

Hello, global citizens! 🌍

I’m excited to share The Unified World Project, a book released this week inspired by the idea that our world can achieve lasting peace through a shift in global awareness of our inherent connection. This project aligns with many principles of world federalism and global democracy, focusing on shared values, collaboration, and the interconnectedness of all life.

In the book, I explore how shifting from national to global thinking—rooted in love, fairness, and collective action—can address systemic challenges like poverty, environmental degradation, and inequality. It’s not just a call for organized political systems but a deeper transformation of how we see ourselves and each other as a global community.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about how a shift of awareness toward our unity can complement the practical frameworks of global democracy. Feel free to ask questions, share insights, or discuss ways we can unite efforts toward global unity!

Did you know that YWF has its very own Book Club? We are currently reading through *A World Parliament* by Jo Leinen and Andreas Bummel, and we're about to finish up Part 1, which is about the history of world federalism.

This would be a great time to join us! We'll recap Part 1, and introduce Part 2, which discusses specific proposals related to world federalism. Discuss world federalism and where we can go from here with fellow world federalists from around the world!

Join us this Saturday at 18:00 UTC (Noon Central Time, 1pm Eastern) on Zoom, through our Discord (in the comment below).

Have any questions? Feel free to comment or DM me here or on Discord (same tag).

The flight from twitter is accellerating now that Elon Musk is officially part of a Trump administration. The big benificiaries of this are BlueSky and Threads. I don't want Meta owning more of my online presence than they already do, so I am going with bluesky.

Getting in ahead of a wave of growth gives people and movements a big advantage in these spaces. And people are arriving with their world view in tatters. We should all make our presence felt. Find me here: https://bsky.app/profile/austingmackell.bsky.social

The End is a New Beginning

Date: 18 November 2024
Time: 16:00-17:30 UTC

Ever wondered what people around the world think about the idea of a world government? Do they want one, and if so, what kind? Join us for an exciting webinar where we dive into these questions and explore the future of global governance!

Hosted by: Eston McKeague, President of the Young World Federalists

Our special guests are Dr. Farsan Ghassim (University of Oxford) and Dr. Markus Pauli (Dublin City University), co-authors of the groundbreaking study, “Who on Earth Wants a World Government, What Kind, and Why?”, recently published in International Studies Quarterly. Together, they surveyed over 42,000 people across 17 countries, from the global South, North, East, and West, gathering insights on how people feel about global government — and the findings might surprise you!

Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn:

• Support for global governance grows when the idea is democratic or focused on solving global problems like climate change, poverty, and peace. In fact, a majority of people around the world are in favour of such a system, especially in countries that are less powerful or developed.
• The United States stands out as an exception, where the idea of world government — even with democratic features — doesn’t gain major public approval.
• As crises like climate change and pandemics escalate, the idea of a world government is no longer dismissed so easily. Could this be a potential solution to some of the biggest challenges facing young people today?

You’ll get the chance to hear from Dr. Ghassim and Dr. Pauli about the “hopes and fears” that people expressed about world government and how these could shape global governance reforms in the future. This discussion couldn’t be more timely, as today’s youth are inheriting a world that’s increasingly interconnected and facing challenges that know no borders.

Whether you’re already familiar with the idea of a global union or just curious to learn more, this webinar is for you! Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to engage with leading experts and ask your burning questions.
