LOS ANGELES - Young Socialists leaders from 13 cities met
here September 19-20 and decided to hold the Young Socialists
convention December 4-6 in Los Angeles. Participants at the
meeting also elected a new National Executive Committee to
lead the work of the YS through the convention. They decided
to make the building of the convention the focal point of the
work of the organization over the next two months. Chapters
and members will join the campaign to sell subscriptions to
the Militant newspaper and Perspectiva Mundial, as well as
the new issue no. 11 of the Marxist magazine New
International.
Members of the organization will soon start a period of pre-convention discussion that will be opened up with the "Young Socialists Manifesto," drafted by the Los Angeles chapter of the YS, and the "YS Organizer," a document adopted at the organization's second national convention. The Manifesto and the first section of the Organizer are published in the new issue of New International.
More information on this meeting and the YS convention, will appear in an upcoming issue of the Militant.
