OneGlobalVoice exists because the institutions that hold democratic societies together are shaped by whoever shows up for them — school boards, trade unions, municipal councils, provincial legislatures. Attendance at those tables has not been evenly matched.
Over recent decades, far-left and Islamist movements have converged around a shared opposition to Western democratic society. Researchers have called this alignment the red-green alliance, and describe it as founded less on a common positive programme than on a common set of enemies. Where it is organised and present, it sets the agenda.
The strategy of working through institutions is described in the movement’s own words. An internal Muslim Brotherhood memorandum, seized by the FBI in 2004 and entered into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution — the largest terrorism-financing case in US history, which ended in convictions in 2008 — sets out a long-term plan its author says the group’s North American Shura Council adopted in 1987. It describes the movement’s work in North America as “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within.”
Reversing this requires people of common sense and shared human values willing to step into those same institutions — as trustees, councillors, union members, and public officials — and rebuild them from within.

The name describes the convergence of far-left movements and Islamist movements — red and green — around a shared opposition to Western democratic society. Researchers examining the alignment found both drawing on the same two master frames: anti-globalisation and anti-capitalism, and anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism. Each frame is broad enough to recruit well beyond either movement’s own base.
What holds it together is not a shared account of what should replace the present order. On religion, on the rights of women, on personal freedom, the two movements disagree profoundly. What they share is a list of adversaries.
That is precisely why it matters at the local level. An alignment built on common opponents rather than a common programme does not need agreement to be effective in a council chamber or a union local. It needs only a shared vote.
Articles and videos on this →OneGlobalVoice is a global collective advocating for the safety, dignity, and civic voice of communities under pressure — including Christian, Coptic, Iranian, Druze, Hindu, Buddhist, Yazidi, Jewish, and other groups facing shared threats to public safety, governance, and democratic integrity — rooted in Canada and growing worldwide. We work on community safety, institutional renewal, democratic integrity, and the defence of free speech.
In practice, that can be as everyday as a congregation deciding it needs someone posted at the door before a weekend service.
That means keeping neighbourhoods and community spaces safe, holding public bodies accountable, and putting people of common sense into the institutions that govern daily life — school boards, city councils, unions, and legislatures. We work locally in Toronto and in coordination with partner organizations across Canada and internationally.
Elections matter, wherever you are. From time to time, we will release lists of recommended candidates whose platforms align with our organizational mission and long term objectives.

Think globally. Act locally.
OneGlobalVoice was founded in 2024 by Laurent, in response to rising extremism in Canadian cities and civic life. What began as a single rally in downtown Toronto — drawing thousands, including MPs, MPPs, and city councillors — grew into a sustained, cross-community effort to give a public voice to people who were not being heard.
Since then, we've organized events across Toronto and beyond, from community forums and public meetings to interfaith gatherings. Along the way we've partnered with grassroots groups, faith communities, and advocates from Buddhist, Christian, Druze, Hindu, Iranian, Jewish, and other backgrounds — united by a shared commitment to peace, justice, and human dignity.
Today, OneGlobalVoice is focused on longer-term work: strengthening the civic institutions and community networks that keep our society safe, accountable, and free.
