The mission of SAI is to educate, activate and empower individuals to be effectively mobilized for the second amendment through a grassroots effort. SAI is working to fundamentally change the way that Americans view the second amendment. SAI wants to end the negativity associated with the second amendment and have Americans view it as a positive part of being an American. The Second Amendment is our constitutional right that protects the others, that shall not be infringed, and guarantees our right to self-defense. Through our national student organization, Students for Self-Defense, SAI equips college students with the tools they need to address and change oppressive University policies that restrict their rights to self-defense on campus.
