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.
