We help students understand key issues in environment, development, peace and security and health, as well as the global system that frames these issues. Specific tactics include issue training (issue briefs, coaching, webinars, toolkits, videoconferences, film screenings, speaker tours, etc.) and issue monitoring (blogs, new media and student Issue Analysts).
Tools to Learn the Issues

Issues We Cover
As a network of young people in the US, we are taking informed action around our individual and collective roles as global citizens. A distinguishing characteristic of AIDemocracy is our emphasis on the interconnectedness of global issues. We fight for nuclear nonproliferation or funding for climate adaptation, for example, because they are also a means to ending poverty and empowering women.
Our Student Campaign Teams run our work on our priority issues for 2011-12:
- Climate change
- Hunger
- Sex & Justice
- Security
- Be2021 (tenth anniversary of 9/11)
Issues are chosen based on a poll of our network every spring.
