🔥 One idea echoed all day: Democracy is not a belief. It’s a responsibility. And it’s on us to act.

🧠 What we came up with:
✅ Create a Democracy Caucus to coordinate democratic action
✅ Launch a universal civil service to unite people across borders
✅ Reform the UN & push for real enforcement of international law
#FreedomMarathon #AtlasMovement #GlobalDemocracy #DemocracyInAction
💬 We:
🔹 Discussed building a pro-freedom coalition across borders
🔹 Exposed the failures of the current international system
🔹 Centered youth as key actors in democratic renewal
🔹 Gave the floor to those resisting on the frontlines: Belarus, Ukraine, and beyond

🌍 Authoritarianism is rising. Silence is complicity.
That’s why we gathered in Milan for the Freedom Marathon – GDC Europe Forum 2025: to figure out how we fight back.

The fight for freedom is global from Belarus to Ukraine, Georgia and beyond. ✊

Trent Trepanier: Offering preferential trade status with countries of a democratic caucus, should such a thing be established, could be an incentive.
#FreedomMarathon
#GDCEuropeForum2025
Colombe Cahen-Salvador: What incentives would get countries to abide by international law?
#FreedomMarathon
#GDCEuropeForum2025
Weak international law is a major freedom struggle. When global institutions fail to act, authoritarianism thrives, conflicts escalate, and justice remains out of reach.

Kenneth Roth: The Right is abandoning the language of democracy, and progressives should claim that language to argue we fight for the interests of everyone, not the interests of certain groups.
#FreedomMarathon
#GDCEueopeForum2025
Kenneth Roth: To reinforce democracy, we must press democratic governments to include the interests of everyone, including rethinking the classic neoliberal model of economic growth, which has left so many behind.

A five person panelist seated on chairs on a podium discussing.
Our current panel is exploring a critical question: Do we need a new international order to stand up for freedoms?
Freedom struggles are often left without consistent support. National interests paralyze global action, leaving democracy and human rights at risk.
