| National Youth and Student Peace Coalition |
Last Update: 2005/11/10 14:46 |
Description:
The National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC) was formed to organize and mobilize the youth and student response to Bush's open-ended, so-called "war on terror." This broad-based youth and student led coalition was formed shortly after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 and has worked to build strategic, long-term opposition of youth and students to the war, both at home and abroad. We believe that young people have an important role to play in taking back our democracy-on our campuses, out in the streets, and at the ballot box. NYSPC believes that the struggle for social and economic justice is key to the struggle for peace and we are committed to engaging and including youth of color, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered youth, working class and other marginalized youth.
