Rebels with a Cause chronicles the movements for social change of the Sixties that began with the civil rights movement and culminated with the angry protests against the US war in Vietnam. Told through the eyes of SDS members, the film is about far more than SDS. It’s about the values, motivations, and actions of a generation that lost its innocence but gained a sense of power and purpose. It’s about a decade that changed America.

NOTE: This event was rescheduled from Thursday, Sep. 28

KC Metro area organizers have released flyers to publicize the protest. Download and distribute them to help maximize turnout at the protest.

Kansas City SDS/MDS members will be handing out other flyers at the protest to promote the upcoming Know Your Rights training session. Download the PDF file for the quarter-page flyers here.

Come learn and discuss your legal rights while demonstrating and protesting. Learn what types of activities are permitted during demonstrations and how to handle encounters with the police. Gain the tools and information you need to be confident in your actions as an active participant in the struggle for justice.

Panelists include Brett Shirk, Director of the ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri, local activists and those engaged in protecting your rights!

The event is sponsored by codePINK KC, the American Friends Service Committee, 911Truth.org, KC Students for a Democratic Society, and other local groups.
