YCL Women's Conference
In late 2022, comrades from across Britain attended the first ever Young Communist League of Britain Women’s Conference in Ruskin House.
In the opening address to conference, comrade Aymee Diaz Negrin from the Cuban Embassy "joined us to give a fascinating account of women’s liberation in Cuba. She explored the recent progressive reforms to the Cuban Family Code and the active steps the socialist state is taking to tackle machismo in Latin American culture."
In the Women and Trade Unions panel, "we heard from Micaela Tracey-Ramos, co-chair of UNISON young members; and Helen O'Connor, NHS nurse and trade union organiser. The panel was chaired by NEU rep Sarah Green.[1]

Communist gathering
Manchester CPB and YCL gathered at the Leningrad memorial in St Peter’s Square May 9 2021 to commemorate the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany on May 9th 1945.
Gtr. Manchester branch sec. Eddy Redmond spoke of the vital part played by the Soviet Union in defeating fascism, and the tremendous sacrifice of the Soviet people.
Flowers were placed around the memorial, where Sarah Green from the YCL read the poem ‘Winner’ by Nobel laureate Boris Pasternak.
Members of the International Brigades Memorial Trust were in attendance. Rob Hargreaves spoke to those gathered, and reminded us that the early warning signs of fascism evident in the Spanish civil war were largely ignored by the British establishment and public. It was the communists who raised the alarm and heralded the call to arms that saw over 2,300 volunteers from Britain and a total of over 35,000 worldwide rush to defend the Spanish Republic between 1936 and 1939.
We were also joined by representatives of the Awami Workers Party, the Communist Party of Spain (PCE), the Tudeh Party of Iran, Greek Communist Party (KKE)
