About CPUSA
Founded in 1919, the Communist Party USA has championed the struggles for democracy, labor rights, women’s equality, racial justice and peace for 100 years. The Communist Party has an unparalleled history in the progressive movement of the United States, from the struggle against Jim Crow segregation, the organizing of the industrial unions, from the canneries of California, to the sweatshops of New York City.
A better and peaceful world is possible - a world where people and nature come before profits. That’s socialism.
In the Communist Party USA, sexual harassment is not an acceptable behavior on the part of any comrade.
