SDS after Maryland: We must decide and do it well

EDNOTE: The following are general impressions of the SDS National Convention. It is from my own perspective as a member of SDS. It’s also by no means complete, as supporting documents like the minutes and notes from various meetings. Those should be available sometime shortly.

The 2008 National Convention of Students for a Democratic Society in College Park, MD is only just beginning to get out of my bloodstream. There’s an excitement around SDS’s members, clearly evident from all the Facebook status updates, where it feels that we’ve managed to really pull it off — we’ve managed to take this assortment of chapters, regions, working groups and caucuses and integrate them together into a real national student organization.
