The Mission:

The National Campaign to Abolish the Box is committed to removing institutional barriers that prevent currently and formerly incarcerated people from accessing higher education. The Student Peace Alliance staff as well as many of our chapters are organizing with a national coalition of independent student groups, individuals, and organizations to remove questions on the Common Application that require applicants to disclose their involvement with the criminal justice system.

Take Action!

Sign the petition!
