Senator Tom Hayden has played an active role in American politics and history for over three decades, beginning with the student, civil rights and antiwar movements of the 1960's.

Hayden has spent 50 years in United States social movements including two decades in the California Legislature and membership in the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Platform Committee.
