Trayvon Martin would have been 24 years old today.

We honor him by continuing the fight against white supremacy.

Rest in power.

Today, Trump has recognized the self-appointed presidency of the Venezuelan right-wing opposition leader, Juan Guaido. SDS denounces this move of aggression and says, "Hands Off Venezuela!" Read our full statement at https://t.co/qIfXfrBQ6l #HandsOffVenezuela #FuerzaVenezuela

When you graduate with a bachelor's degree and insurmountable debt and the job market isn't what they promised.

Western MA update as of 10am this morning:

The Big Y in Century Plaza (West Springfield) has their EBT machine down but folks are able to still use their benefits at the Dollar Tree next door.

[Western MA Students for a Democratic Society @WMassSDS]

EBT/SNAP is down in Massachusetts right now. In Western Mass, if you hear of solutions, please respond with them! For Boston area folks, here is a workaround!

Happening on Wednesday! Bring your friends and your thoughts and let's talk about our goals for 2019. Have questions about SDS? This event is free and we'll aim to answer them all! FB Event: https://t.co/l4261wwpyy

[UofU SDS @uofusds]

When all institutions, inclding academic and political are owned and structured 4the wealthy, we need to remember the only real way to win lasting change is from a working class and oppressed people's approach. Any approach that relies on these institutions is doomed for failure.

[Western MA Students for a Democratic Society @WMassSDS]

Students from all colleges are welcome, we will be discussing campaigns for 2019, answering your questions about SDS and talking about how to gain official student org status by the end of the year - more details coming soon! In the meantime, check out https://t.co/0czqyVgUs4 ❤️

[Western MA Students for a Democratic Society @WMassSDS]

Calling all leftist student organizers, activists, and those who just feel that the administration isn't doing enough to support students! Come meet with us in 2019 before the semester starts! Bring your friends and your opinions ✊ https://t.co/szgPGVTrBH

ICYMI: Xmas for cops in Northampton and Holyoke: Walmart and the Feds come bearing gifts of ammo and tasers https://t.co/r8CBRH2to9

[Western MA Students for a Democratic Society @WMassSDS]

This is unacceptable. Is there action being taken in support of this student yet? A campus inclusive of Nazis is a safe campus for no one.

[boricua babe 𒉭 @lamejourneyman]

The resident hall staff at umass amherst are nazi sympathizers and aims to make an environment which includes them
