POPULAR support for Palestinian resistance is at an all-time high. In Govanhill, Glasgow, this has inspired collective action across many campaigns and organisations.
The Young Communist League (YCL) is one of those organisations working in Govanhill to build support for and provide aid in solidarity with the people of Gaza. In particular, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).
The DFLP is a Marxist-Leninist organisation and the fourth-largest political party in Palestine. It is active at every level of the struggle, fighting on the ground and at the UN against its people’s ongoing displacement. It advocates a two-state solution, with Jerusalem as its capital and the right of return for all displaced Palestinians. The DFLP is affiliated with the YCL through the international youth organisation World Federation of Democratic Youth.
