Supporters of World Federalism

Bono

“We’ve all heard about globalization of power and globalization of profit and globalization of greed until we’re blue in the face… It’s time to balance the books with globalization of peace, globalization of freedom and justice, globalization of prosperity and opportunity. If we want it, we can have it.”

Al Gore

Pope Francis

“To build peace also means to work actively for the care of creation… The efforts made in recent times to respond to climate change will meet with increased cooperation on the part of all, for the earth is our common home, and we need to realize that the choices of each have consequences for all.”
