Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), or New Students for a Democratic Society (New SDS) is a United States student activist organization founded in 2006 in response to the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan with the aim to rebuild the student movement.[1] It takes its name and inspiration from the original SDS of 1960–1969, then the largest radical student organization in US history. While working alongside such groups as the Freedom Road Socialist Organization,[2] the contemporary SDS is a distinct youth and student-led organization with chapters across the United States.[3][4][5]
