The Princeton Peace Network (PPN) was a student organization that formed in September 2001. The PPN was most active during the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States. In their effort to encourage the Princeton community to actively engage with peaceful alternatives to the use of military force and to increase a critical awareness of American foreign policy issues, the PPN facilitated teach-ins and collaborated with the Coalition for Peace Action and the Woodrow Wilson School's program on Science and Global Security, especially with Dr. Zia Mian. The PPN seems to have disbanded some time after 2006, the last time their website was updated.
