The Africa Action Student Network is a community of student activists across the country committed to mobilizing and advocating for U.S. policies that promote political, economic and social justice in Africa. Students have historically played a pivotal role in advocating for change, as evidenced in the South Africa anti-apartheid movement. Africa Action was actively involved with students in fighting apartheid, and is now engaged in countering Global Apartheid. Students still play a pivotal role in this movement for global justice.
