What is the Student Peace Alliance (SPA)?

 

We are a national, non-profit advocacy organization working to empower chapters on college campuses around the country to promote, educate, advocate, and take direct action in support of a variety of both domestic and international peace and justice issues. Some of our focus areas include:

• Ending the school-to-prison pipeline
• Preventing identity and gender based violence around the world
• Promoting interfaith and intercultural dialogue
• Advocating for restorative justice/restorative practices
• Passing the Youth PROMISE Act (HR 1318/S1307), a federal bill to reduce youth incarceration  

What do we offer?

Chapters can pick and choose from our monthly actions, speakers, films and trainings based on their interests- and existing social justice groups are welcome to participate with us as well (just let us know!). Some of our campaigns and resources include:

• A program bank and on-campus organizing/recruitment resources
• Monthly film screening series
• A virtual, interactive speaker series with professionals from peace and justice related fields
•  A monthly action campaign to reduce identity based violence, in partnership with STAND 
• Virtual legislative advocacy training and materials
• Direct, 1-on-1 support for chapter leaders and members
• Internships with our national office
