United States Student Association

USSA believes education is a right and works on building grassroots power among students to win concrete victories that expand access to education at the federal, state and campus level. The organization tracks and lobbies federal legislation and policy, and organizes students from across the country to participate in the political process, through testifying in official Congressional hearings, letter-writing campaigns, and face-to-face lobby visits between students and their elected officials. They were founded when in 1946 when students from the United States and 37 other countries met in Prague, Czechoslovakia, to launch the International Union of Students (IUS), a confederation of national student unions
