UNC-Chapel Hill SDS Points of Unity

UNC-Chapel Hill SDS recognizes the connection of all struggles for social, environmental, and economic justice and liberation.

We commit to fight all forms of oppression, recognizing the leadership of the oppressed, and the right of all peoples to self-determination.

We demand an end to U.S. wars of aggression, neo-colonial occupations perpetrated or funded by the U.S., and the social and economic structures that support and profit from them. We demand an end to U.S. military, political, cultural, and economic imperialism.

We demand a society rooted in social and economic justice, where all people have a right to housing, education, jobs, and healthcare, regardless of race, gender, nationality, class, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation. Such a society must place human need over corporate profit and interests.

We are committed to combating systemic oppressions in society, ourselves, and in our organization through our campaigns, leadership, tactics, and decision-making processes. We are committed to collective action through principled unity with others, working against oppression with the ultimate goal of justice and liberation for all people.
