Federalism & Democracy         Freedom & Union


The Association to Unite the Democracies (AUD) works toward uniting the world’s peoples through the principle of democratic federalism. To achieve this goal we support education on the idea of federal union and its applications to promote freedom and peace.


Affiliated 501(c)3 organizations:



The Streit Council for a Union of Democracies, Inc. supports research and debate on democratic federalism as a form of government and an organizational principle to effectively bring together democratic societies. Its work focuses on promoting deeper understanding of federalism and the federal union culture of freedom and union, of sharing and limiting power to solidify the foundations of democratic life in an interdependent and complex world. The Council also cooperates with other organizations and educational institutions on broader questions of uniting democracies, reforming world organization, and facilitate planetary policies to ensure a life worth living for all.



The Ashburn Institute uses new and emerging technologies to promote the goal of international federation, with particular emphasis on youth interaction.
