The Campus Organizing Program

A project of the Peace Action Fund of New York State, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

PAFNYS Campus Organizers establish campus-recognized Peace Action chapters on their college campuses, organize their peers to take action on issues of peace and justice, and organize events and virtual seminars. Student organizers become part of a statewide network of young peacemakers who are youth leaders in shaping U.S. foreign policy. 

A Message from the Executive Director, Emily Rubino

We’re supporting, educating, and elevating a new generation of peace activists who understand and are committed to the intersectional issues that need to be addressed if we are ever to truly achieve peace. There is no economic justice without addressing our monstrous military budget, no ending militarism in our streets at home without addressing our rampant militarism abroad, no climate justice without addressing the fact that the U.S. military is the world’s #1 polluter. Advocating for peace today means making the connections between social justice struggles and working together to demand a better future.
