Weathermen (Weather Underground Organization)

The Weathermen, or Weather Underground Organization, was a radical leftist group active in the United States during the late 1960s and 1970s. Formed by members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), they aimed to combat systemic racism and the Vietnam War through revolutionary tactics. Known for their anti-establishment views, they carried out bombings and protests as acts of civil disobedience. They sought to inspire a revolution to create a more equitable society but faced criticism for their violent methods, leading to a complex legacy that continues to spark debate about activism and extremism.
