"Stop the War? Yes we can! SDS is back again!"
The last few years have witnessed the gradual resurrection of an old and storied student organization from the 1960s, Students for a Democratic Society. SDS organizers and activists were - and continue to be - at the heart of many social movements in the United States, and students across the country are attempting to revive the moribund student left with a firm vision of totalist politics and participatory democracy.
The Nation had an interesting article on this Lazurus-like development in April, and a website for the new SDS is up and running.
The most recent document to come out of the past summer's National Convention in Detroit is fascinating, and I daresay, inspiring and quite exciting. The Final Convention Bulletin also looks rather professionally-designed. Take the time to read it and stay tuned . . .
