The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina was far from natural. Poor and working people were horribly affected by the racist and criminal neglect and failure to respond to this disaster and deliver emergency services to those who needed it most. In addition decades of disastrous socio-economic policies of social divestment and environmental degradation only opened the door for the tremendous damage and loss of life that was wrought by both hurricane’s Katrina and Rita. As money continues to poor into paying for the war and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the struggle for adequate funding to rebuild the Gulf Region underscores the need to fight for peace and a fundamental change in our national priorities

Young people face the greatest threats from the war, both at home and in the battlefield. The Young Communist League, has joined young people in resisting the militaristic foreign policy of the Bush administration from the beginning.

From the schoolhouse to the streets youth are under attack! Despite the best efforts of Bush and his extreme right wing gang, youth are fighting back. We can\'t defeat the ultra-right without a strong and vibrant youth movement. To do that we need a strong and vibrant Young Communist League. The YCL is the only organization out there that combines a strategy to fight back today and win for the long term!
