What We Do

UPDATE: The SSC (Strike Steering Committee) was elected by the student occupiers of Hamilton Hall on April 23, 1968. As more buildings were seized, representatives from each and from the central office were added (and will continue to be added) to the Steering Committee. We are committed to instituting the democratic procedures that we seek for our university and our society.

General assembly meetings are held once a week on Thursdays in Fayerwether 201, unless notified of a change. SDS officers and the Steering Committee also have meetings every week, and then present their ideas and proposals to the general assembly to be voted on.

General assembly members can participate in all SDS events. We especially need people to run the literature table on College Walk, which we try to have there every day for at least a few hours.

The schedule for the next 5 days (will be updated as situation changes or events are added):
