The PYM congratulates the Democratic Socialists of America on their successful convention and elections in Chicago earlier this month. Alongside dozens of progressive institutions, unions, and international organizations, we learned about the important questions facing the future of the DSA; and witnessed critical debate about the direction of the organization in a moment riven with fascism and imperialism.
We welcome the DSA membership body's ratification and formal adoption of a national anti-Zionist resolution, which further strengthens DSA's commitment to the Palestinian liberation struggle and to holding accountable elected officials who provide material support to Zionism or who launch affirmative attacks on the Palestine solidarity movement.
Today, our people in Palestine need the left and progressive forces in the United States to lead principled struggle against US complicity in Zionist colonialism, occupation, and genocide. We look forward to organizing alongside the DSA in the struggle for Palestinian liberation, and more broadly towards a shared struggle, one that is guided by a commitment to the liberation of all oppressed peoples and nations, in the United States and across the world.
