An event organized by the new SDS: Students for a Democratic Society

March 28, 7 p.m.
Allen Hall, South Rec room
A student movement is desperately needed to carry on the struggle for participatory democracy! At its peak in 1968, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) had over 100,000 members working toward peace, economic justice, racial equality, and democracy in every aspect of everyday life. SDS began in the early 1960s when students from northern cities traveled to the South to join the civil rights sit-ins and at the end of the decade it mobilized some of the largest protests against the Vietnam war.
Featured speakers Gene Vanderport, now a union representative, and Vern Fein, a pastor at Vineyard Church, were formerly members of an active chapter here in Urbana-Champaign. They will talk about the old SDS, its victories and its pitfalls.
