We are a student organization that believes that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, we fight for immediate changes that can help everyday people while also building our coalition to achieve more structural long-term change over time. GVSU Students for a Democratic Society works with regional organizers and advocacy groups, other organizations on campus and locally to meet our goals. We use a variety of tactics, from legislative work to direct action, to fight for reforms that empower working people.

​

We are a multi-issue organization fighting for:

• The abolition of poverty

• Affordable, humane housing for all

• Universal Healthcare for all

• Free Education: from pre-k to trade schools, college and beyond

• Democracy in the workplace; all workers have the right to organize

• Complete reproductive freedom in all forms

• An end to racial, gender, and all other forms of oppression

• An end to punitive justice and mass incarceration

• An end to military intervention and police aggression

• Democratic control over the environment to preserve the planet
