feat 0 . :
- -A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
fovement IX (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,
from November 26 to 30, 1969. At this conference it was
deciced to form a new organization to be known as Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYLi), characterized as a mass antiq-imperialist
youth organization, said organization being proposed as
separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. The
"principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights
against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
of youth; and support of the right of self-determination of
all “oppressed nations,” also support of the right of, all
“oppressed and exploited” peoples “to armed self-defense."
It was agreed that RYM would not be a Harxist-Leninist
organization; however, source said this was decided in order
to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be
acceptable to everyone. A temporary National Steering |
Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was
elected to govern RYH until national officers could be
elected during the Spring of 1970.
RYU publications have listed the RYH National Office
(XO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 C,
both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
the NO has no office space but vould probably be considered as
‘located at Apartment 27, 10G7 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atianta.
é
Second source advised that women dominated the
founding conference and have continued to dominate NSC
meetings to the point that “women's liberation” has apparently
become the RYlU's principal issue - also that RYIM's poor
Stnancial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
@ paper. During early 1970, RYli has decided to cater to
the working class rather than youth, since the potential for
social revolution lies in workers. .
A third source has stated that it was decided at
the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had cecided the
organization will be molded into a “working class, Marxist—
Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imnerialist, nrobisc::
nationalist, people's women's Liberation organization."
