MAKE SENSE, MAKE PEACE, MAKE HISTORY
The Student Peace Alliance is a free program of the Peace Alliance. We are national network of chapters, student organizations, and individual students from various disciplines that take action to reduce incarceration, conflict, punitive punishment, and their collateral consequences - and to build peace in our communities. We do this by advocating for legislation, campus policies, and practices that have a positive impact, and providing virtual advocacy training, leadership support, national action oriented campaigns, and chapter development support.
What are we Working on?

The Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act is a bill that promotes and solidifies current best practices in international peacebuilding. By passing this Act, the US will strengthen an interagency approach to preventing mass violence, mandate trainings in conflict de-escalation for our foreign services personnel, and make atrocities prevention a core US international priority. GAPA also includes a solid and promising definition of Peacebuilding!
