CEL or UN TE Sth Nepyys . ™ [Sy FRANCE. epee tes CI uN ‘10 : ‘4 AMERTCAG eek ABOUT VIETNAM 3S) SEANCERIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE — 8 a _— -. . ~ Tm (tm REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH ‘MOVEMENT 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." he ~~Raen. mie tee a ” tn
