Colombe Cahen-Salvador (born 1994) is a social and political activist working on cross-border mobilisation to tackle global issues. She co-founded of Volt Europa and NOW!..[1][2]
Career[edit]
Cahen-Salvador served as a legal fellow with Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights[3] (“RFK”, formerly the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights) in Washington, D.C., where she worked in the International Strategic Litigation Unit to bring high impact human rights cases before regional and international tribunals.[4] She was awarded the inaugural Duke Law School’s international law and human rights fellowship[4], during which she worked at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and at the Norwegian Refugee Council.
In 2017, Cahen-Salvador together with Andrea Venzon and Damian Boeselager founded Volt Europa as a "pan-European", "pragmatic" and "progressive" party. She was responsible for the creation of policies in Volt from 2017 to 2019,[5][6][7][8][9][10] and developed the programme of the party for the European Elections: the Amsterdam Declaration[11]. Cahen-Salvador was the lead candidate to the European Elections for Volt Europa in France,[12][13][14][15][16][17] but Volt France could not participate (unable to raise €800,000 in funding to meet legal requirement to print its own ballot papers).
Colombe Cahen-Salvador co-founded NOW!, "the global movement pushing for humanity to work as One to solve the biggest challenges of our time",[18] on January 1st 2020, and is now its co-executive director. [19] [1] She focuses her work on global issues and mobilising people across borders to solve existential challenges and create a global system of governance,[20][21] by using " digital tools and grass-roots campaigning to lobby governments and politicians".[22]
In September 2020, Colombe Cahen-Salvador gave a TED talk at TED's annual conference, viewed over 1.2 million times, on the need for global movement to solve existential challenges.[23] In the talk, she introduces her framework: "think beyond national borders, unite across the world and leap forward to make sure that the world actually works as one."[24]
Political philosophy and activism[edit]
Cahen-Salvador has worked extensively on the doctrines of globalism, the need for transnational activism and global governance. Cahen-Salvador has repeatedly argued that global crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, showcase "the need for increased global governance and cooperation".[25] As such, she maintains "competences need to be given systematically to supranational bodies that can answer and manage the world’s existential threats."[25][26]
She explained that "modern democracy means mobilising people on issues not allegiances" and that is why she called for global activism that can "represent a potent hybrid, fusing youth activism with political operations devoid of party allegiance. It crosses all borders, as pressing issues usually do."[27] Cahen-Salvador believes that cross-border activism and lobbying is the "only way to tackle the most significant threats of our time" in the absence of true transnational governance.[25] She also argued that political parties "incapable of coping with a complex world where issues are interconnected and global, with little respect for borders or electoral timetables."[28][29]
