intercollegiate defense of equality and solidarity

The Intercollegiate Defense of Equality and Solidarity (IDEAS) is a multi-campus student-driven NGO founded on the belief that respect for human dignity must be kept at the center of all policy and governmental action, committed to training and encouraging students with a passion for justice in international advocacy and politics. We aim to give students the resources to make their voices heard on both the international and domestic levels of society. We encourage advocacy among their peers and act as representatives at the United Nations. We believe wholeheartedly that we have important contributions that can support and uphold the dignity of all human persons. Effectively, our mission is to unite, educate, and mobilize collegiate and post-collegiate youth in an educated and effective defense of human life, subsidiarity, and pro-family values on college campuses and in the international political arena. Through IDEAS, pro-life and pro-family youth around the world have a chance to become involved in international politics for the gradual creation of a world in which the person at every stage is valued in every level of society.
