The Young Communist League (YCL), founded in 1921, is a revolutionary youth organisation and the youth wing of the Communist Party of Britain. We fight for the working class, people power, and Socialism.
Celebrate 100 Years of the Young Communist League:
YCL Statements:
YCL Stands with the Palestinian Prisoners and Against the Israeli Noose
The YCL calls for the release of all Palestinians unjustly detained by Israeli forces, who suffer daily under a systematic regime of torture, starvation, medical neglect and
sexual violence, as well as for the British government to sever the country’s alliance with the genocidal apartheid state of Israel and the establishment of an independent state of Palestine in practice.
May Day 2026 Statement
This May Day, the Young Communist League picks up the banner of our forebears and declares “We shall fight again!”
No War on Iran!
The Young Communist League condemns the illegal and bloody attacks carried out this weekend by the imperialist powers of the United States of America and the genocidal apartheid regime in Israel.
Free Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole!
The Young Communist League of Britain condemns the abduction of comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist – Kenya, and stands in solidarity with our sister party. Reports that comrade Omole has been tortured in his detention at Mlolongo Police Station are disturbing but unfortunately unsurprising given his prior targeting for assassination last year, as well as an ongoing campaign of detention of comrades of the CPM-K.
Solidarity with Cuba Against Trump’s Escalations
The Young Communist League of Britain stands unequivocally with the Cuban people in their valiant struggle against United States’ imperialist aggression, exemplified by the recent executive order imposing a fuel blockade on Cuba.
Holocaust Memorial Day 2026
Today on the occasion of Holocaust Memorial Day, the Young Communist League of Britain remembers the millions who died under the barbarity of Nazi rule and occupation across Europe, aided and abetted by fascist collaborators, and opposed by resistance in which communists played a key, and in many cases leading, role.
