www.studentpeaceaction.org
In the fall of 1995, a national Student Peace Action Network (SPAN) was initiated
to bring the voices of young activists into leadership in the peace movement.
The organizers of the student network recognized that many young activists across
the country were making the links between unchecked militarism and the declining
access of U.S. peoples to basic social services, and the increasing threats
to basic social justice. However, many of these voices were disjointed because
there was no systematic tool for communication available to unify the messages
each young community was sending. While the Student Environmental Action Coalition
has built an enormous base of student environmental activists and The Center
for Campus Organizing serves as an effective clearinghouse for resources for
activists, there was no national network for student Peace and Justice organizing.
SPAN was created to facilitate
this communication to forge a more popular and diverse student peace movement.
We are supported by the Peace Action Education Fund, which monitors policy and
creates educational materials to assist in grassroots organizing efforts. We
also work closely with Peace Action, the nation's largest grassroots peace and
justice organization.

to follow. During this journey participants pause and listen to a piece of music
and a meditation. They also undertake some symbolic action or ritual. With this
online version the pieces of music are the same but the actions and activities
have been translated to suit the medium.
