The American Movement International, commonly and alternatively known simply as the American Movement, is an international and regional political organization and lobbying association within the members of the Conference of American States. The American Movement is responsible for the promotion of American unionism and integration within CAS member states, especially in Anglo-America, and is also responsible for lobbying firms and efforts in many CAS member states to ensure pro-CAS policies and governments.
The organization was established in 1965, a year before the CAS was formally established, to push for a pan-American organization and later pushed for American unionism after the Conference was formally established. Starting in 1966, the American Movement International established national-level chapters in CAS member states like in Astoria, Brazoria, the Kingdom of Sierra, Manitoba, and Superior among others and began expanding into South America in 2015 after opening an affilate in Brazil.
The American Movement has numerous affiliations with other pro-CAS and unionist organizations such as Students for America, Institute for American Liberal Studies, Institute for Social Democracy in America and many other think tanks and unionist organizations both on an pan-American level and on a national level within individual member states.
