Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism

The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) "struggles toward a vision of unity and solidarity among all people. We struggle for a world of just, humane laws, based upon unqualified respect for the rights and dignity of every human being. Multiracial unity is at the center of our vision and our struggle, free of every form of discrimination."
