TT vm REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH MOVEMENT

- -A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
Yovement It (RYNII) 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
decided to form o new organization to be known as Revolutionary
Youth Wovement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist
youth organization, said organization being proposed as
separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. The
"principlgs of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights
against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
ef youth; and support of the right of seli-determination of
all “oppressed nations,” also support of the right of, all
"eppressed and exploited” peoples "to armed self-defense."
It was agreed that RYM would. not be a Marxist-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 RYM until national officers could be
elected during the Spring of 1970.
‘ ; a
RYM publications have Listed the RYH National Office
(XO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Pest Office Box 77012 C,
both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as
located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.
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 RYM's poor
‘inancial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
a@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 decided the
organization will be molded into a "working class, Marxist-
Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imsertia t, probs
nationalist, people's women's organization."
