What Is Resistance?

Resistance is an Australia-wide organisation of young people. We aim to build a mass radical youth organisation. We organise young people in struggles against sexism, racism, environmental destruction, attacks on workers' rights, attacks on students' rights, and every aspect of capitalist oppression. Through this process we help build a mass socialist party that can unite all these struggles. Resistance is made up of young workers, unemployed, students, women, and young people involved in a huge range of campaigns and activities. We're involved in the environmental movement, the women's movement, the lesbian and gay movement, anti-racist campaigns, solidarity campaigns with struggles overseas, on campus, at schools, and in workplace and trade union campaigns. We organise our own campaigns on issues from sexuality to youth unemployment. And we distribute information on all the issues. Any young person (under 26) can join us. It's easy. Every week we organise meetings to plan our activities and organise our campaigns. We act with the enthusiasm of knowing that we're not submitting to the system, but we are learning and working together with other young people to change it. If you want to act and speak out against the system, join Resistance.
