Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is an association of young people of the left. It seeks to create a sustained community of educational and political concern, one bringing together liberals, radicals, and revolutionaries, activists and scholars, students, staff, and faculty. It maintains a vision of democratic society, where at all levels the people have control of the decisions which affect them and the resources on which they are dependent. It seeks a relevance through the continual focus on realities and on programs necessary to effect change at the most basic levels of economic, political and social organization. It feels the urgency to put forth a radical, democratic program whose methods embody the democratic vision.

SDS is an education and social action organization dedicated to increasing democracy in all phases of our common life. It seeks to promote the active participation of young people in the formation of a movement to build a society free from poverty, ignorance, war, exploitation, racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, and environmental destruction.

The above is a video our videoactivista friend Carly made in 2008 (thanks sister, you kick ass!) The sound sync is all fucked up for some reason, but you get the idea. (Note: At the end it has a plug for Critical Mass, which now rides on the last Friday of every month at 6PM from Buckley Park.)

The above photos are from the 10/7/09 anti-war protest and march marking the 8th anniversary and 9th year of the ongoing war in and occupation of Afghanistan.
