Who Are New SDS?
New Students for a Democratic Society is a national, multi-issue, progressive student organization with over 40 chapters all across the United States. We stand against US wars and intervention, racist discrimination, police crimes, homophobic and transphobic attacks, attacks on women, attacks on reproductive rights, and much, much more.
We were refounded in 2006 after protests against the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, by students who were inspired by the powerful anti-war movement built by Students for a Democratic Society in the 1960's and 1970's.
We host protests and other direct actions on campuses to show students that they have the power to win policies for a better campus and to move society as a whole in defense of progressive social movements.
Join the fight! Dare to struggle, dare to win!
Points of Unity (Passed at 2024 National SDS Convention)
We are the New Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). SDS stands as a broadly progressive, non-tendency, multi-issue, and action oriented national student organization. SDS welcomes all students who are progressive and down to protest. SDS is a fighting student organization. We lead students in protest and confrontation against university administration whose interests are in direct opposition to the demands and needs of students. By doing this on a national level, SDS will build up and expand the student movement here in the U.S. It is SDS’s mission to rally the students around progressive demands and campaigns to lead them to victory. These are our points of unity, used to create unity between local chapters to National SDS and members to our chapters.
SDS is Multi-Issue
SDS is multi-issue and our politics, campaigns, demands, and slogans reflect this. We raise both demands that are student and education specific and demands that apply to justice in society at large.
SDS has roots as an anti-war organization that opposes and fights against U.S. wars, invasion, sanctions, and intervention in other countries. Whenever the U.S. government or its allies attack another country we will protest to demand an end to U.S. intervention and involvement. National SDS stands with all movements and leaders who resist and defend their country by any means necessary against U.S. invasion, occupation, war, intervention, and sanctions.
National SDS stands unconditionally with Palestine. We call for a Free Palestine from the River to the Sea! We demand that universities divest and cut all ties with Israel, and that the U.S. ends all aid to Israel.

>Who Are New SDS?
Students for a Democratic Society
Students for a Democratic Society(SDS) was a national student activist organization in the United States during the 1960s and was one of the principal representations of the New Left. Disdaining permanent leaders, hierarchical relationships and parliamentary procedure, the founders conceived of the organization as a broad exercise in “participatory democracy”. From its launch in 1960 it grew rapidly in the course of the tumultuous decade with over 300 campus chapters and 30,000 supporters recorded nationwide by its last national convention in 1969. The organization splintered at that convention amidst rivalry between factions seeking to impose national leadership and direction, and disputing “revolutionary” positions on, among other issues, the Vietnam War and Black Power.
Presented below is SDS as seen through its many publications and leaflets. We present first New Left Notes, though not its first periodical, it does represent the height of SDS influence as part of the new left that it journal is named after, that is during the Vietnam War and the movement against it, along with the Civil Rights and Black Liberation movements that heavily influenced. What follows this listing of New Left Notes are its predecessor publications and the very important Progressive Labor Party 1969 take over of SDS which took over the paper while a non-PL published faction organized around the Weathermen published their own short lived rival to this periodical with the same name.

📣 National Convention Announcement📣
Join National SDS and progressive students around the country as we hold our 19th annual convention at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, on October 11th & 12th!
Only a few months into Donald Trump's second term, and all sectors of our movement are under attack. Student activists are being kidnapped by ICE for protesting for Palestine; immigrants and their families are under constant threat of mass deportations; LGBTQ people are facing increasingly repressive attacks on their basic democratic rights; and Trump threatens to "unleash policing" as a counter the movement for Black lives. Trump even has plans to completely dismantle the Department of Education, eliminating financial aid and gutting ethnic studies and other programs that tell the real history of Black, Chicano, Latino, and other oppressed people in this country.
National Students for a Democratic Society stands firmly against Trump's racist agenda, and we're fighting him every step of the way. Please join us to hear speakers, attend workshops, and meet activists of all stripes! We want to learn lessons from our chapters' and affiliates' experiences and to turn them into a concrete plan going forward, to keep the fires of the student movement burning - against the Trump Agenda, for Palestine, for education, for our social movements, and for a college life based on equality, peace, and justice.
Connections by Funding
Direct funding overlaps are limited, as these groups prioritize decentralized, grassroots models to avoid corporate or government influence. However, indirect connections via shared fiscal sponsors, coalition participation, and common grantors create a funding web that amplifies their collective impact. Key linkages:
Shared Fiscal and Network Ties Through Veterans for Peace (VFP):
MFSO's exclusive fiscal sponsor is VFP, which channels donor funds (individual and foundation) directly to MFSO's anti-war advocacy.
VFP is a founding member and frequent collaborator of UFPJ, participating in joint campaigns (e.g., 2007 Washington, D.C., anti-Iraq War march). This creates a funding pipeline: VFP donors often support UFPJ events, indirectly benefiting MFSO.
No direct VFP funding to SDS or ACT, but VFP's peace ecosystem (including grants from PDF) influences broader anti-militarism efforts where SDS chapters and ACT trainers participate.
Common Grantors in the Peace Foundation Ecosystem:
Peace Development Fund (PDF): Funds UFPJ (for coalition-building) and ACT (for social justice trainings and anti-racist work). PDF's model supports "partners in human rights and social justice movements," creating a shared pool for anti-war training and organizing. For example, PDF's 2025 grantees include groups aligned with UFPJ's Poor People's Campaign, which overlaps with ACT's community empowerment projects.
A.J. Muste Memorial Institute: Primary supporter of UFPJ's grassroots campaigns; its focus on "small budgets and little access to mainstream funding" aligns with MFSO's volunteer model, though no direct grants. Muste's anti-war ethos indirectly supports SDS's campus anti-recruitment drives via similar leftist networks.
These foundations (totaling millions in annual peace grants) form a "funder cluster" for 1960s–2000s movements, linking the groups' anti-imperialism themes.
UFPJ as a Central Hub for Coalition Funding:
UFPJ explicitly lists MFSO and ACT as member groups, enabling shared resources like joint grant applications for anti-war actions (e.g., nonviolent direct action trainings). UFPJ's Coordinating Committee includes reps from MFSO (Mary Hladky) and ACT (Lisa Fithian, former UFPJ co-chair).
SDS connects indirectly: UFPJ collaborates with student networks (e.g., National Youth & Student Peace Coalition), and SDS chapters have joined UFPJ-led protests (e.g., 2007 rallies). Funding flows through UFPJ's pooled resources for youth organizing.
Example: UFPJ's 2003 founding involved VFP (MFSO's sponsor) and American Friends Service Committee (historical SDS ally), creating enduring donor cross-pollination.
Thematic and Historical Funding Overlaps:
All groups draw from the post-9/11 anti-war surge, supported by donors like the Tides Foundation (progressive hub funding UFPJ and ACT-like trainers). SDS's revival tapped similar sources, including Haymarket Fund grants for student anti-militarism.
No evidence of major conservative or corporate funding; all rely on progressive donors (e.g., unions like UAW for SDS/UFPJ, individual peace activists for MFSO).
Broader Implications
These connections reveal a tightly knit ecosystem where funding isn't siloed but flows through coalitions like UFPJ, amplifying small donations into large-scale actions (e.g., joint marches drawing 100,000+ participants). This model sustains long-term activism but limits transparency—public 990 forms show modest revenues, with much support off-books via fiscal sponsors. For deeper dives, review IRS filings via ProPublica or GuideStar, or contact the groups directly for donor reports. If you'd like analysis of specific grants or related X posts/events, let me know!

Overview of Allegations and Findings
The claim that these groups—United for Peace & Justice (UFPJ), Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), the revived Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), and the Alliance of Community Trainers (ACT)—use "nonviolent direct action" as a euphemism for endorsing or enabling violence is a serious accusation often leveled in partisan critiques of progressive activism. Nonviolent direct action typically refers to tactics like civil disobedience, sit-ins, blockades, and symbolic protests (e.g., inspired by Gandhi or MLK), which can involve arrests but not physical harm to others. Based on a review of historical records, news reports, and public activities up to October 11, 2025, there is no direct evidence that any of these groups have organized, funded, or explicitly endorsed violent actions.
AI Overview
"United for justice & peace" is a slogan and name for various organizations that advocate for justice and peace, often through nonviolent means, but there have been instances where protests have involved violence, sometimes stemming from clashes with law enforcement or other groups.Groups like United for Peace and Justice have a long history of protesting, and while their foundation is nonviolent, they have participated in protests that have seen violence occur, such as during events in 2016.These instances of protest violence are distinct from the goals of groups like Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, which explicitly condemn violence
