DESCRIPTION:Student Activism, Participatory Democracy and the Case of Sweat Shop Labor: 
 A Call to Action\n\nTom Hayden, lifelong activist -- Students for a 
 Democratic Society/SDS, Chicago 8 defendant in 1968, former California 
 State Senator, author and National Director of No More Sweatshops! a 
 coalition of labor, community, and campus advocates -- has been named 
 Activist Faculty-in-Residence at New College of California for Spring 2005. 
  Tom will lead seminars for New College students, students from other Bay 
 Area colleges and the public on social movements and community organizing. 
 He will also supervise student internships in the SweatFree Bay Area 
 Coalition’s campaign seeking the passage of sweat-shop free procurement 
 policies and legislation by Bay Area communities beginning with San 
 Francisco. These seminars and participation in the campaign are open to the 
 public. If you are interested please try to attend this kick-off 
 presentation.   The goal of Mr. Hayden’s New College residency is to 
 combine his experience as a student civil rights and anti-Vietnam war 
 organizer in the 1960’s with his 18 years in the State Senate to help 
 students link classroom theories of society, corporate globalization, and 
 social change with the experience of effective political action.  Through 
 this, New College seeks to educate a new generation of engaged student 
 activists who understand, embrace and enact the final utopian words of 
 SDS’s founding document which Tom co-authored– the Port Huron Statement 
 – that “we seek the unattainable, to avoid the unimaginable”.  \n
