Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)- College Park Chapter
Weekly meetings: Wednesday 8pm ArtSoc 3207
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 College Park chapter of SDS formed in the Fall of 2007 in order to build student power at the University of Maryland. In just one year we have hosted or helped to host several consciousness raising events, organize against the anniversary of the Iraq War, and host the SDS National Convention.
This year, we are working to bring transparency to the University’s endowment, support the grad student union, fight corporate tyranny over out educations, and keep our tuitions on ice.
