What does ADM mean in POLITICS

The Asociación Democrática Menorquina (ADM) is a grass roots political movement based in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It was founded in 1981 with the aim of promoting democracy, freedom of expression and self-determination for Minorca and its people, as well as social justice, human rights and equality.

The main objectives of the ADM are to promote democracy, civil liberties, self-rule and sustainability on Minorca; establish a democratic system with full autonomy from Madrid; build bridges between different cultures and social classes on Minorca; protect and promote traditional culture; work towards environmental protection and sustainable development on the island; promote public policies that guarantee economic wellbeing; combat inequality, racism and exclusion; and defend human rights.

Since its inception in 1981, ADM has been involved in a variety of activities aimed at achieving its goals. This includes organizing public forums on issues such as equality, environmental protection, economy, human rights and more. In addition, ADM has lobbied successfully for changes to legislation that benefit Minorca's residents including a major labor rights law reform passed in 2008. It has also sought international recognition through petitions to various UN bodies such as UNESCO.

Besides politics and public policies initiatives, the ADM works actively within communities engaging in cultural activities such as music festivals or educational projects related to traditional heritage. They have also launched initiatives to combat gender violence or organized events aimed at raising awareness about climate change. In addition, they have participated in campaigns advocating for a fairer taxation system on Minorca.

To become a member of ADM one must be an adult resident of Minorca aged 18 years or older who shares their political objectives and upholds their principles of nonviolence. There is no formal membership fee but members are encouraged to make donations towards their cause whenever possible.
