The Communist Caucus is a project to organize communist participation inside Democratic Party while connecting U.S. activists with the broader international communist tradition.
Why this caucus exists
A place for every tendency.
The caucus was launched with a specific organizational goal: every tendency of the democratic left should be able to organize openly inside state Democratic Party institutions. Rather than collapsing the Left into a single label, this project argues for visible, distinct caucuses that can cooperate while preserving their traditions.

From ideas to institutions
Get elected inside the party.
A caucus becomes meaningful when people participate locally. Democratic Party structures differ by state and county, but the basic work is similar: learn the rules, identify the local committee, show up, recruit others, and run for the positions through which party decisions are made.
