New York Young Communist League

About Us | Our Structure | Committees

The New York YCL is a democratic centralist organization. We have an elected leadership body, the Coordinating Committee, which coordinates the work of the NY-YCL. As a collective, we organize our work through various subcommittees focused on different issues, regions, and logistic. These subcommittees and working groups are democratically created and run by the general membership of the NY-YCL. (Please note: If a subcommittee or working group on a specific topic does not exist in the NY-YCL at the moment, it does not mean we do not mobilize in solidarity, promote, or take on new campaigns regarding such topic)

If you would like to get involved or collaborate with these active subcommittees or working groups, you may reach us at newyorkycl@gmail.com. While you will not have privileges to decide the direction of the work without being a member of the YCL, all are welcome participate in public meetings and work organized by our committees without being a member.
