SDS National Convention This Saturday

[Ethan King]

Hey all—

On Nov 12-13th, Students for a Democratic Society will be hosting our 6th annual National Convention in Milwaukee, WI at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The national convention has consistently been a space that youth and students throughout the country gather to share progressive ideologies, ideas for action, and methods of organizing. We have done this in the past through plenaries, inviting speakers and hosting a variety of workshops taught by and for SDSers and other progressive youth. Workshop topics have included everything from how to make a flyer, how to run successful campaigns on your campus, and how to mud-stencil. These skill shares are a part of what makes our conventions memorable and our movements stronger. This year's topics are as follows.

PLENARY: Fighting Back Against FBI Repression

PLENARY: Year of Resistance Reportbacks - Madison, Occupy, Troy Davis, etc.
PLENARY: Building the anti-war movement
