We envision a world where all people can manifest their identities with integrity and security. To learn more, check out our Facebook or send us an e-mail.
Students for Alternatives to Militarism (SAM) is a group of students and members of the Stanford community who have come together to work for peace and justice.

The Arab Student Association at Stanford (ASAS)
International Socialist Organization at Stanford (ISO) seeks a left alternative to a world of war, racism and poverty. With branches across the country and a budding one on the Stanford campus, the ISO brings together revolutionary socialists to act in solidarity with struggles against oppression in their area--to push the fight against capitalism as far as it will go. Condemning human rights abuses in Palestine goes hand-in-hand with socialism. We see illegal settlement of the West Bank and war crimes like collective punishment not just intersecting with violence in the United States, but sharing the same structural causes.
