In later years, he ran for political office numerous times, winning seats in both the California Assembly and California Senate. At the end of his life he was the director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center in Los Angeles County. He was married to Jane Fonda for 17 years, and is the father of actor Troy Garity.

Early life and activism

Thomas Emmet Hayden was born in Royal Oak, Michigan,[1] to parents of Irish ancestry, Genevieve Isabelle (née Garity) and John Francis Hayden.[2] His father was a former Marine who worked for Chrysler as an accountant and was also a violent alcoholic.[1] When Hayden was 10, his parents divorced, and his mother raised him.[1] Hayden attended a Catholic elementary school, where he read out loud to nuns and "learned to fear hell."[3]

Hayden grew up attending a church led by Charles Coughlin, a Catholic priest noted for his anti-Semitic teachings, and who was also known nationally during the time of The Great Depression as the "radio priest".[1] Hayden's dismay with Coughlin caused him to break with the Catholic Church as a teenager.[1]

Hayden attended Dondero High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. He served as the editor for the school newspaper, and in his farewell column in the newspaper, he used the first letter of successive paragraphs to spell "Go to hell".[3] As a result, when he graduated in 1956,[4][1] he was banned from attending his graduation ceremony and only received a diploma.[3]

Hayden then attended the University of Michigan, where he was editor of the Michigan Daily. At the National Student Association convention in Minneapolis in August 1960, Hayden witnessed a dramatic intervention by Sandra Cason. To a standing ovation she turned back a motion denying support for sit-ins in the struggle against racial segregation: “I cannot say to a person who suffers injustice, ‘Wait,’ And having decided that I cannot urge caution, I must stand with him.” Alan Haber of the fledgling Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) recruited her on the spot. Stirred by her "ability to think morally [and] express herself poetically," Hayden soon followed her into the left-wing grouping.[5] They married in October the following year.

Undeterred at having been beaten senseless by a white mob in McComb, Mississippi while covering the Freedom Rides for the National Student News,[6] Hayden himself became a Freedom Rider. On December 10, 1961, the Haydens participated in one of the many “freedom rides” taking place in response to the 1960 Boynton v. Virginia decision. It was from a prison cell in Albany, Georgia, where their ride was to land him, that Hayden began writing the SDS manifesto.

The Port Huron vision and SDS

Refined and adopted at the first Students for Democratic Society (SDS) convention in June 1962, the Port Huron Statement called for a "new left" committed, in the spirit of participatory democracy, to "deliberativeness, honesty [and] reflection."[7] The sponsoring League for Industrial Democracy (LID) took immediate issue. Although The Statement did express regret at the "perversion of the older left by Stalinism," it omitted the LID's standard denunciation of communism. Hayden was called to a meeting where, refusing any further concession, he clashed with Michael Harrington, as he later would with Irving Howe.[8]

Tom Hayden was elected SDS president for the 1962–1963 academic year, but his wife Sandra Cason "Casey" Hayden left Ann Arbor, and left him, heeding the call to return to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Atlanta. She later recalled that in contrast to the interminable debates she had witnessed in Ann Arbor, in SNCC discussions the focus was on action and women had a voice.[5] The Haydens divorced in 1965. That year, with other SNCC women, Casey Hayden coauthored "Sex and Caste"[9] since regarded as a founding document of second-wave feminism.[10]

Convinced, in the words of the Statement, that students must "look outwards to the less exotic but more lasting struggles for justice," and with $5000 from United Automobile Workers, Hayden's first SDS initiative was the Economic Research and Action Project (ERAP).[11] SDS community organizers would help draw white neighbourhoods into an "interacial movement of the poor".[12] By the end of 1964 ERAP had ten inner-city projects engaging 125 student volunteers.[13]

President of the United Packinghouse Workers of America Ralph Helstein arranged for Hayden to meet with Saul Alinsky. With twenty-five years experience in Chicago and across the country, Alinsky was considered the father of community organizing. To Helstein's dismay, Alinsky dismissed Hayden's venture into the field as naive and doomed to failure.[14]

Hayden committed himself to the effort. For three years in Newark, he worked with a community union to organize poor black residents to take on slumlords, city inspectors and others. He was there to witness the 1967 Newark Riots which, in Rebellion in Newark (1967), he tried to place in a larger social and economic context.[15] His profile in Newark attracted the attention of the FBI. “In view of the fact that Hayden is an effective speaker who appeals to intellectual groups and has also worked with and supported the Negro people in their program in Newark," agents recommended that he "be placed on the Rabble Rouser Index.”[16]

Hayden was later to suggest that if ERAP across the country had failed to build to greater success (the promised "interracial movement of the poor") it was because of the escalating U.S. commitment in Vietnam: "Once again the government met an internal crisis by starting an external crisis."[17]

Anti-war activist

In 1965, while still committed in Newark, Hayden, along with Communist Party USA member Herbert Aptheker and Quaker peace activist Staughton Lynd, undertook a controversial visit to North Vietnam. The three toured villages and factories and met with an American POW[who?] whose plane had been shot down. The result of this tour of North Vietnam, at a high point in the war, was a book titled The Other Side.[18][19] Staughton Lynd later wrote that the New Left disavowed "the Anti-Communism of the previous generation", and that Lynd and Hayden had written, in Studies on the Left: "We refuse to be anti-Communist. We insist the term has lost all the specific content it once had."[20]

In 1968, Hayden joined the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam ("the Mobe"), and played a major role in the protests outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. The demonstrations were broken up by what the U.S. National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence later described as a police riot.[21] Six months after the convention, he and seven other protesters including Rennie Davis, Dave Dellinger, Abbie Hoffman, and Jerry Rubin were indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and incitement to riot as part of the "Chicago Eight", a.k.a. the "Chicago Seven" after Bobby Seale's case was separated from the others. Hayden and four others were convicted of crossing state lines to incite a riot, but the charges were later reversed and remanded on appeal. The government did not re-try the case, and thereafter elected to dismiss the substantive charges.[22]

Hayden made several subsequent well-publicized visits to North Vietnam as well as Cambodia during America's involvement in the Vietnam War, which had expanded under President Richard M. Nixon to include the adjoining nations of Laos and Cambodia, although he did not accompany his future wife, actress Jane Fonda, on her especially controversial trip to Hanoi in the spring of 1972.[23] The next year he married Fonda and they had one child, Troy Garity, born on July 7, 1973. In 1974, he appeared in a brief scene as an ER doctor in the film Death Wish. In the same year, while the Vietnam War was still ongoing, the documentary film Introduction to the Enemy, a collaboration by Fonda, Hayden, Haskell Wexler and others, was released. It depicts their travels through North and South Vietnam in spring 1974.[24]

Hayden also founded the Indochina Peace Campaign (IPC), which operated from 1972 to 1975. The IPC, operating in Boston, New York, Detroit and Santa Clara, mobilized dissent against the Vietnam War and demanded unconditional amnesty for U.S. draft evaders, among other aims. Jane Fonda, a supporter of the IPC, later turned this moniker into a name for her film production firm, IPC Films, which produced in whole or in part, movies and documentaries such as F.T.A. (1972), Introduction to the Enemy (1974), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980) and On Golden Pond (1981).[25][26] Hayden and Fonda divorced in 1990.

New Left legacy

Writing about Hayden's role in the 1960s New Left, Nicholas Lemann, national correspondent for The Atlantic, said that "Tom Hayden changed America", calling him "father to the largest mass protests in American history", and Richard N. Goodwin, who was a speechwriter for presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy, said that Hayden, "without even knowing it, inspired the Great Society."[27] Staughton Lynd, though, was critical of the Port Huron and New Left concept of "participatory democracy", stating: "We must recognize that when an organization grows to a certain size, consensus decision-making is no longer possible, and some form of representative government becomes necessary."[28] Nevertheless, his FBI files also showed Hayden held meetings with some people who the New Left opposed, such as Rev. Billy Graham.[29] He also was revealed to have developed a friendship with Sen. Robert Kennedy, and served as one of the pallbearers for Kennedy's casket during Kennedy's funeral.[29][30]

Career in electoral politics

During 1976, Hayden made a primary election challenge to California U.S. Senator John V. Tunney. "The radicalism of the 1960s is fast becoming the common sense of the 1970s", The New York Times reported him saying at the time.[31] Starting far behind, Hayden mounted a spirited campaign and finished a surprisingly close second in the Democratic primary. He and Fonda later initiated the Campaign for Economic Democracy (CED), which formed a close alliance with then-Governor Jerry Brown and promoted solar energy, environmental protection and renters' rights policies, as well as candidates for local office throughout California, more than 50 of whom would go on to be elected.[32]

Hayden later served in the California State Assembly (1982–1992) and the State Senate (1992–2000).[33] During this time, he was frequently protested by conservative groups, including Vietnamese refugees, military veterans, and members of Young Americans for Freedom. He mounted a bid in the Democratic primary for California Governor during 1994 on the theme of campaign finance reform and ran for Mayor of Los Angeles in 1997, losing to incumbent Republican Richard Riordan.[citation needed]

As a member of the State Assembly, Hayden introduced the bill that became Chapter 1238 of the California Statutes of 1987. Chapter 1238 enacted Section 76060.5 of the California Education Code. Section 76060.5 allows the establishment of "student representation fees" at colleges in the California Community Colleges System. The fee has been established at several dozen colleges, and it may be used "to provide support for governmental affairs representatives of local or statewide student body organizations who may be stating their positions and viewpoints before city, county, and district governments, and before offices and agencies of state government".[34] Student representation fees are used to support the operation of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges.

During 1999, Hayden made a speech for the Seattle WTO protests. During 2001, he unsuccessfully sought election to the Los Angeles City Council.[35] Hayden served as a member of the advisory board for the Progressive Democrats of America, an organization created to increase progressive political cooperation and influence within the Democratic Party.[36] He served on the advisory board of the Levantine Cultural Center, a nonprofit organization founded in Los Angeles in 2001 that champions cultural literacy about the Middle East and North Africa. During January 2008, Hayden wrote an opinion essay for The Huffington Post's website endorsing Barack Obama's presidential bid in the Democratic primaries.[37] In that same year, he helped initiate Progressives for Obama (now called Progressive America Rising), a group of political progressives that provided assistance for Obama in his initial presidential campaign.[38]

Hayden was known widely in California as a staunch endorser of animal rights and was responsible for writing the bill popularly known as the Hayden Act, which improved protection of pets and extended holding periods for pets confined as strays or surrendered to shelters.[citation needed]

In 2016, Hayden ran to be one of California's representatives to the Democratic National Committee.[39] Though he originally leaned towards Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic Presidential Primary, Hayden later announced he would support Hillary Clinton and cast his vote for her when the primary reached California.[40] He also claimed that he never endorsed Sanders and only supported his campaign with the hope that it would push Clinton's policies leftward.[40]

Hayden maintained that he remained radical towards the end of his life, commenting, "I'm Jefferson in terms of democracy," he said, "I'm Thoreau in terms of environment, and Crazy Horse in terms of social movements".[41] In his last years, however, he also described himself as "an archeological dig", noting the varied layers to his life, the many publications he produced, and the different ways future researchers would likely interpret his life and work.[29][42]

Academic career

Hayden was a teaching assistant at the University of Michigan Journalism Department in the early 1960s. The Law of the Press was one of the courses he taught. Hayden taught numerous courses on social movements, two at Scripps College—one on the Long War and one on gangs in America—and a course called "From the '60s to the Obama Generation" at Pitzer College. He also taught at Occidental College and at Harvard University's Institute of Politics. He taught a class at University of California, Los Angeles on protests from Port Huron to the present. Hayden taught a class in political science at the University of Southern California during the 1977–78 school year. He was the author or editor of 19 books, including The Long Sixties: From 1960 to Barack Obama, Writings for a Democratic Society: The Tom Hayden Reader, and his memoir, Reunion, and served on the editorial board of The Nation. His book Hell No: The Forgotten Power of the Vietnam Peace Movement, completed in the months before his death in October 2016, was published on January 31, 2017, by Yale University Press.

During 2007, Akashic Books released Hayden's Ending the War in Iraq. In a discussion about the book with Theodore Hamm published in the Brooklyn Rail, Hayden argues, "The apparatus of occupation is never going to turn into a peacekeeping economic development agency. We need to withdraw our stamp of approval and our tax dollars from supporting the occupation. That doesn't mean that there can't be some attempts at remedies, but these should never be used as an excuse to stay."[43]

Personal life

He was married to actress and social activist Jane Fonda for 17 years, and was the father of actor Troy Garity. Hayden lived in Los Angeles beginning in 1971[42] and was married to his third wife, Barbara Williams, at the time of his death. He and Williams adopted a son, Liam (born 2000).

Hayden died at a hospital in Santa Monica, California on October 23, 2016, aged 76. Williams told The New York Times that Hayden had a history of heart problems and his health had declined in the preceding months.[44][45] He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Santa Monica,[46] where he was the first interment in "Eternal Meadow," an eco-friendly section.[47] Former US President Bill Clinton memorialized him, saying, "Hillary and I knew him for more than thirty years and valued both his words of support and his criticism."[48]

led by Charles Coughlin a Catholic priest noted for his anti Semitic teachings and who was also known nationally during the time of The Great Depression as the radio priest 1 Hayden s dismay with Coughlin caused him to break with the Catholic Church as a teenager 1 Hayden attended Dondero High School in Royal Oak Michigan He served as the editor for the school newspaper and in his farewell column in the newspaper he used the first letter of successive paragraphs to spell Go to hell 3 As a result when he graduated in 1956 4 1 he was banned from attending his graduation ceremony and only received a diploma 3 Hayden then attended the University of Michigan where he was editor of the Michigan Daily At the National Student Association convention in Minneapolis in August 1960 Hayden witnessed a dramatic intervention by Sandra Cason To a standing ovation she turned back a motion denying support for sit ins in the struggle against racial segregation I cannot say to a person who suffers injustice Wait And having decided that I cannot urge caution I must stand with him Alan Haber of the fledgling Students for a Democratic Society SDS recruited her on the spot Stirred by her ability to think morally and express herself poetically Hayden soon followed her into the left wing grouping 5 They married in October the following year Undeterred at having been beaten senseless by a white mob in McComb Mississippi while covering the Freedom Rides for the National Student News 6 Hayden himself became a Freedom Rider On December 10 1961 the Haydens participated in one of the many freedom rides taking place in response to the 1960 Boynton v Virginia decision It was from a prison cell in Albany Georgia where their ride was to land him that Hayden began writing the SDS manifesto The Port Huron vision and SDS EditRefined and adopted at the first Students for Democratic Society SDS convention in June 1962 the Port Huron Statement called for a new left committed in the spirit of participatory democracy to deliberativeness honesty and reflection 7 The sponsoring League for Industrial Democracy LID took immediate issue Although The Statement did express regret at the perversion of the older left by Stalinism it omitted the LID s standard denunciation of communism Hayden was called to a meeting where refusing any further concession he clashed with Michael Harrington as he later would with Irving Howe 8 Tom Hayden was elected SDS president for the 1962 1963 academic year but his wife Sandra Cason Casey Hayden left Ann Arbor and left him heeding the call to return to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee SNCC in Atlanta She later recalled that in contrast to the interminable debates she had witnessed in Ann Arbor in SNCC discussions the focus was on action and women had a voice 5 The Haydens divorced in 1965 That year with other SNCC women Casey Hayden coauthored Sex and Caste 9 since regarded as a founding document of second wave feminism 10 Convinced in the words of the Statement that students must look outwards to the less exotic but more lasting struggles for justice and with 5000 from United Automobile Workers Hayden s first SDS initiative was the Economic Research and Action Project ERAP 11 SDS community organizers would help draw white neighbourhoods into an interacial movement of the poor 12 By the end of 1964 ERAP had ten inner city projects engaging 125 student volunteers 13 President of the United Packinghouse Workers of America Ralph Helstein arranged for Hayden to meet with Saul Alinsky With twenty five years experience in Chicago and across the country Alinsky was considered the father of community organizing To Helstein s dismay Alinsky dismissed Hayden s venture into the field as naive and doomed to failure 14 Hayden committed himself to the effort For three years in Newark he worked with a community union to organize poor black residents to take on slumlords city inspectors and others He was there to witness the 1967 Newark Riots which in Rebellion in Newark 1967 he tried to place in a larger social and economic context 15 His profile in Newark attracted the attention of the FBI In view of the fact that Hayden is an effective speaker who appeals to intellectual groups and has also worked with and supported the Negro people in their program in Newark agents recommended that he be placed on the Rabble Rouser Index 16 Hayden was later to suggest that if ERAP across the country had failed to build to greater success the promised interracial movement of the poor it was because of the escalating U S commitment in Vietnam Once again the government met an internal crisis by starting an external crisis 17 Anti war activist EditIn 1965 while still committed in Newark Hayden along with Communist Party USA member Herbert Aptheker and Quaker peace activist Staughton Lynd undertook a controversial visit to North Vietnam The three toured villages and factories and met with an American POW who whose plane had been shot down The result of this tour of North Vietnam at a high point in the war was a book titled The Other Side 18 19 Staughton Lynd later wrote that the New Left disavowed the Anti Communism of the previous generation and that Lynd and Hayden had written in Studies on the Left We refuse to be anti Communist We insist the term has lost all the specific content it once had 20 In 1968 Hayden joined the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam the Mobe and played a major role in the protests outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Illinois The demonstrations were broken up by what the U S National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence later described as a police riot 21 Six months after the convention he and seven other protesters including Rennie Davis Dave Dellinger Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin were indicted on federal charges of conspiracy and incitement to riot as part of the Chicago Eight a k a the Chicago Seven after Bobby Seale s case was separated from the others Hayden and four others were convicted of crossing state lines to incite a riot but the charges were later reversed and remanded on appeal The government did not re try the case and thereafter elected to dismiss the substantive charges 22 Hayden made several subsequent well publicized visits to North Vietnam as well as Cambodia during America s involvement in the Vietnam War which had expanded under President Richard M Nixon to include the adjoining nations of Laos and Cambodia although he did not accompany his future wife actress Jane Fonda on her especially controversial trip to Hanoi in the spring of 1972 23 The next year he married Fonda and they had one child Troy Garity born on July 7 1973 In 1974 he appeared in a brief scene as an ER doctor in the film Death Wish In the same year while the Vietnam War was still ongoing the documentary film Introduction to the Enemy a collaboration by Fonda Hayden Haskell Wexler and others was released It depicts their travels through North and South Vietnam in spring 1974 24 Hayden also founded the Indochina Peace Campaign IPC which operated from 1972 to 1975 The IPC operating in Boston New York Detroit and Santa Clara mobilized dissent against the Vietnam War and demanded unconditional amnesty for U S draft evaders among other aims Jane Fonda a supporter of the IPC later turned this moniker into a name for her film production firm IPC Films which produced in whole or in part movies and documentaries such as F T A 1972 Introduction to the Enemy 1974 The China Syndrome 1979 Nine to Five 1980 and On Golden Pond 1981 25 26 Hayden and Fonda divorced in 1990 New Left legacy EditWriting about Hayden s role in the 1960s New Left Nicholas Lemann national correspondent for The Atlantic said that Tom Hayden changed America calling him father to the largest mass protests in American history and Richard N Goodwin who was a speechwriter for presidents Lyndon B Johnson and John F Kennedy said that Hayden without even knowing it inspired the Great Society 27 Staughton Lynd though was critical of the Port Huron and New Left concept of participatory democracy stating We must recognize that when an organization grows to a certain size consensus decision making is no longer possible and some form of representative government becomes necessary 28 Nevertheless his FBI files also showed Hayden held meetings with some people who the New Left opposed such as Rev Billy Graham 29 He also was revealed to have developed a friendship with Sen Robert Kennedy and served as one of the pallbearers for Kennedy s casket during Kennedy s funeral 29 30 Career in electoral politics EditDuring 1976 Hayden made a primary election challenge to California U S Senator John V Tunney
