Tarlau

The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was a national organization with chapters on college campuses around the United States. Their activities focused on advancing social justice movements like the civil rights movement, Women's liberation, and the anti-Vietnam War movement. Chapters also focused on local movements and advocacy. Princeton's chapter fought against military recruitment on campus and the University's relationship with the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA).
