Young People’s Resistance Committee

We are a multi-national, youth-led, grassroots organization based in Milwaukee, WI. Over the past several years we have organized under the name Youth Empowered in the Struggle, but due to recent political changes we are now operating as Young People’s Resistance Committee in order to better serve the needs of our community. Our mission is to organize the masses in order to advance the struggle of oppressed nationalities which will inevitably lead to the advancement of all peoples.

OUR MISSION
YPRC works for the rights of immigrants, students, and workers. We organize not only to increase awareness of the injustices oppressed peoples face in this country, but to engage in the movement all who become indignant to such issues. We work with the community to fight against deportations and for better access to services. We organize against budget cuts to education at every level. We believe that education is a human right, and that public education should be cost-free. We aspire to organize all working class and minority students in the interest of their already besieged education. Wisconsin is the leading anti worker-rights state in the country. Its Republican/Tea Party controlled state government has unleashed some of the worst attacks on organized labor in decades. We support unions because they are the most effective organizational body that protects the working class and combats for economic safety of the working people. Young People’s Resistance Committee is an affiliate to the national immigrant rights network Legalization for All.
