A-Infos (en) US, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) News Bulletin Issue #5 - June/July 2008

A message from this issue's working group: ---- Welcome to the fifth issue of 
the SDS News Bulletin, the national publication of Students for a Democratic 
Society! We intend for this publication to be an accessible and popular vehicle 
for SDS members and chapters to communicate, coordinate actions, share 
information and ideas, and inspire one another in our struggles. The News 
Bulletin was formed through a proposal of the 2007 SDS National Convention in 
Detroit and passed by consensus of the 200+ attendees. Every Tuesday night since 
last August the members of the Bulletin Working Group have met by conference 
call. The working group is open to all SDS members, so get involved! Join up on 
our listserv:
      groups.google.com/group/sds-news-bulletin
And start jumping on the calls. We won't bite. We're fun
and we need your support. You can download the PDF of
this issue (or any of our awesome previous issues) on the
national SDS website: www.newsds.org Print out copies
to distribute to your chapter. Give them to people who
would like to start chapters. Bring them to conventions.
We will also be putting supplementary content and links
on our blog:
          sdsnewsbulletin.wordpress.com


  We received far too many submissions to print in the
  previous issues, a great precedent to maintain. We're al-
  ready getting started for the next issue, so submit and
  be heard!
  We welcome reports from actions, visual art, reviews,
  opinion pieces, how-to articles, chapter reportbacks, po-
  ems, songs, essays, stories or any other relevant category
  your imaginative minds can think of!
     A big thanks to everyone who
     made this issue possible!
