Global Week of Action for a World Parliament 17-26 October 2014

The Global Week of Action for a World Parliament 2014 (GWA) will be held from 17 to 26 October. The GWA is an annual event celebrated for one week in October around United Nations Day on the 24th. During this week independent events worldwide are held to promote the establishment of a democratically elected world parliament.

The first GWA was launched in 2013 and coordinated by a group of individuals connected through social media, the Global Federalist Movement, and the Campaign for a UN Parliamentary Assembly. Those celebrating the GWA with events and activities endorse the original founding declaration which calls for the establishment of global democracy through a world parliament elected by the world’s citizens. The statement calls on individuals, organizations, groups and movements everywhere to mobilize for the Week of Action.

The goal is to globally promote democracy, starting with the establishment of a World Parliament as a first step for the democratization of the United Nations.
