Student Peace Action Network
We are a grassroots peace and justice organization working from schools across the United States.
We organize for an end to the physical, social and economic violence caused by U.S. militarism.
We campaign for nuclear abolition, disarmament and an end to weapons trafficking.
We oppose the complex webs of corporate and military power that perpetuate racism, damage the environment, deprive people of basic needs, and violate human rights
War is not inevitable. We push for practical alternatives.
Campaigns and Events
Since 2003, the unjust occupation of Iraq has claimed the lives of more than 3,500 young Americans and has cost our communities more than $400 billion! Military recruiters are occupying our schools trying to meet their enlistment quotas and cuts to education funding along with decreased economic opportunity have created a poverty draft.
In response, young activists throughout the peace movement are waging a campaign of resistance against the military's increased and misleading targeting of youth in the United States.
