The National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC), a broad-based youth and student led coalition formed shortly after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, to organize and mobilize the youth and student
response to Bush's open-ended, so-called "war on terror." We work 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 transgender youth, working class and other
marginalized youth.

Stay informed, Stay Together, Stay Organized, and Stay Active -- Together We Can Stop This War and Occupation! Pass an Anti-war Resolution on Your Campus!
Dozens of colleges and universities across the country have passed antiwar resolutions. If University of Texas at Austin students can pass an antiwar resolution in Bush's own town, what's stopping you?
To read examples of antiwar resolutions and to download a step-by-step guide to help you pass an antiwar resolution on your campus, visit the Cities and Campuses for Peace Website.
