SASS (Students for a Democratic Society)

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is a student activist organization founded in the 1960s in the United States. It emerged during a time of social upheaval, advocating for civil rights, anti-war efforts, and greater democratic participation. SDS sought to empower students to engage in social change, promoting values like equality, social justice, and grassroots activism. The organization played a significant role in the anti-Vietnam War movement and influenced many aspects of youth culture and political engagement during the 1960s. Though its prominence waned by the late 1970s, its legacy continues to inspire activism today.
