"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality,
tied in a single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Letter from the Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963

FPIF understands that young people have been the foundation, energy, and survival of important social movements throughout history. With this in mind, our immediate objective is to see students involved in making foreign policy an important issue in the 2004 Elections. Our longer-term vision sees students as permanent participants in the greater U.S. foreign policy debate.
