Mission: Students for a Democratic Society at UH is working to promote the active participation of young people in the formation of a movement to build a society free from poverty, ignorance, war, exploitation, racism and sexism.
Who’s in charge: Child education junior Natalie Baba, political science junior Stephanie Caballero and history junior Robinson Block run SDS together.
Founded: Jan. 2009
Save the date: On March 7 SDS will protest the Hutto Family Detention Center in Taylor, Texas. SDS says that the Corrections Corporation of America holds children, mothers and pregnant women in a former medium-security prison as they wait for hearings on immigration charges.
Meeting times: Meetings take place every other Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Palo Duro room, University Center. Meetings will be held on Feb. 25, March 11 and 25 and April 8 and 22.

SDS members work toward reforming a variety of social issues, including immigration policy.
‘SDS is a great group that helps mobilize students to get active and aware about issues like immigrant rights, occupation and war.’
– Delfina Pei, political science junior
‘After finding out that there are women and children detained in prisons, we felt it was our job to take action for a change to this policy.’ – Stephanie Caballero, political science junior
