Students for a Democratic Society

Students for a Democratic Society

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) nannte sich eine Studentenorganisation in den USA. 1960 gegründet, waren sie Teil der "New Left", die einen Grundstein der Studentenbewegung in den Sechziger Jahren bildete. Sie unterstützten die auf rechtliche Gleichheit plädierende Bürgerrechtsbewegung. Mit dem Vietnamkrieg wurden sie der Hauptanlaufpunkt für protestierende Studenten. Jedoch begann mit der Antikriegs-Aktivität auch eine Radikalisierung der Studentenbewegung, und nachdem sich militante Gruppen abgespalten hatten, zerfiel die Organisation 1969.

Die Positionen des SDS sind in der Port-Huron-Erklärung beschrieben, die am 11. Juni 1962 in Port Huron verabschiedet wurde.
