DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum presents…\n\nAlan Haber, SDS:\nThe Port Huron Statement, 
 Occupy, and a Blueprint for Action\n\nIn the 50 years since its initial 
 publication, Tom Hayden has attracted the bulk of media attention 
 surrounding the Port Huron Statement. He wrote much of the original text 
 and served as its high-profile articulator and leader of its execution. But 
 it’s the lesser-known Robert Alan (Al) Haber who is credited as the 
 “big brain,” the “visionary,” and the “indispensable element” 
 of the student movement.\n\nAs the founder of SDS, Haber was elected its 
 first president in 1960. He spent the first few years building the 
 organizational and intellectual foundation that would support Henry David 
 Thoreau’s call of “voting with your whole body.” In the SDS, Haber 
 had established an educational association that, in his words, was 
 “concerned with building a responsible and articulate left in 
 universities and to extending the influence of this community into the 
 political life of society more generally.” After one of the 
 organization’s first meetings he wrote, “Pessimism and cynicism have 
 given way to direct action.”\n\nHaber, Hayden, and a handful of SDS 
 members organized a conference to discuss Hayden’s working treatise. In 
 the course of five days, more than 60 student activists from New York to 
 California hunkered down at Port Huron’s FDR Camp to hash out, then 
 publish the consensus document that would change the course of American 
 social and political history.\n\nJoin us at OccupyForum to hear from Al 
 Haber, and discuss the implications and applications of the Port Huron 
 Statement, and Occupy, for today's precarious times.\n\nQ&A and 
 Announcements will follow. Donations to OccupyForum\nto cover our costs are 
 encouraged; no one turned away!
