Emergency in progress

Students For A Democratic Society.

We are a coalition of activists, organizers, professional petition-signers, and aspiring revolutionaries united by the belief that every social and economic issue is linked.

SDS students at a protest

A single, interconnected system of oppression.

Founded on the principle that every social and economic issue is linked, we work tirelessly to connect housing, climate change, tuition costs, foreign policy, racism, and more into one unified struggle.

Our members devote countless hours to writing statements, attending meetings, and creating Instagram graphics that will be viewed by nearly dozens of people.

The six SDS principles that explain everything™

A complete moral framework, requiring no further reading.

01Everything is connected
02Everything is colonialism
03Everything is capitalism
04Everything is genocide
05Everything is urgent
06Everything is someone else's fault

Three root causes. Every problem in history.

While experts waste years studying economics, history, and public policy, we developed a much simpler model.

Capitalism
Capitalism

Responsible for nearly every inconvenience experienced by modern society. Rising prices? Capitalism. Bad weather? Probably capitalism. (or Israel)

Colonialism
Colonialism

The second explanation for everything. If a problem can't be blamed on capitalism, we simply trace it back through history until we find colonialism.

Racism
Racism

The convenient backup whenever the first two aren't generating enough engagement online. Every institution contains hidden systems only we can identify.

"Meaningful change begins with awareness, continues with awareness, and culminates in awareness."
