Global Challenges Require Global Solutions
CGS is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-partisan membership-based organization that for more than 75 years has brought together a diverse collective of individuals and organizations. We are a member-driven movement with the common goal of a democratic world federation predicated upon peace, human rights, and the rule of law.
Our Work
Coalition Building
The changes we seek require a collective effort. We work to bridge grassroots action at the local level with global impact. CGS engages with individuals, through chapters, and with a variety of domestic and international partners.
Advocacy
Through our campaigns, CGS has been a champion of treaties and global institutions to end war, guarantee human rights, and protect the environment.
Programs
Social change begins with an informed public. CGS offers programs for young adults and the general public that explore existing global governance structures and consider alternatives to improve the well-being of humanity. Our programming aims to foster world citizenship to inform, inspire, and empower individuals to take action on the local, state, national, and international levels.
