Movement for a Democratic Society

The Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) was a prominent activist organization in the 1960s focused on promoting social justice, political reform, and opposition to war and inequality. It brought together students, intellectuals, and activists advocating for civil rights, participatory democracy, and an end to U.S. involvement in Vietnam. MDS organized protests, community actions, and educational initiatives to challenge established power structures and push for a more equitable, democratic society. It played a key role in the broader counterculture and social movements of the era, aiming to reshape American society based on greater inclusivity and democratic engagement.
