The Activist



YDS is currently working on revamping its magazine, The Activist, which will be available online at www.theactivist.org shortly.  The Activist is an all volunteer production, with political commentary, news, music and book reviews, interviews and artwork. We've included a few sample articles here, you can get more on the activist site.

WTO - Lookin' Out for Number One
Race and the Student Movement
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

If you would like to help contribute to or distribute the Activist, please contact:

In order to help our activists grow and learn as organizers, we have a number of literature pieces, activist guides, reading lists, and more.  Please contact the YDS National Office and we can mail you copies of various resources or we can send you these files as email attachments.  YDS also has a "Toolbox CD" that includes all our resource materials, outreach and meeting flyers, our chapter organizing guide, and much more all in one burned compact disc.
