REGISTER TO HOST A WORKSHOP

NOT A MEMBER OF SDS, BUT WANT TO TABLE? REGISTER A TABLE HERE!

Every year student activists from around the country come together for plenaries, workshops and to learn about how to build a larger, more united student movement around issues that are relevant.

This year, you can be sure to hear students and speakers at the convention discuss issues like TUITION EQUITY, EDUCATION RIGHTS, ANTI-WAR CAMPAIGNS and fighting back against POLITICAL REPRESSION.

Whether your in SDS or not, we want you at the convention. Meals will be provided, housing will be provided and travel stipends may be available depending on need and cost.

Not able to attend the convention but want to support in other ways? Please donate! Every year the hosting chapter and our national group put a lot of funds into our national convention. Many chapters receive little or no money from their universities. SDS survives off students and youth tirelessly working and fundraising. Support the student movement - give to SDS! Donate HERE.

SDS meets weekly Wednesdays at 6pm at Burton Hall. Everyone welcome!

Students for a Democratic Society is a national multi-issue student-led activist organization. We fight on our campus for an end to high-tuition and fees, which leads to crippling student debt. We demand diversity at our university and believe that our urban University should reflect its urban population. We also join community activists and fight back against U.S. wars and occupations. Get active. Join SDS.
