International Socialists was established when fragments of the splintered Students for a Democratic Society joined the Independent
Socialist Clubs of America (ISCA), thereby renaming the organization International Socialists. The ISCA was an amalgamation
of various clubs from around the United States which emulated the Berkeley International Socialist Club (ISC), a student organiztion
involved with black liberation, the anti-Vietnam War movement, the women's and gay liberation, union organizing, the Peace
and Freedom Party, and the Black Panther Party. International Socialists' newspaper,
Workers' Power, highlighted rank-and-file organizing and civil rights activism, among other topics.
