FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION – Executive Committee, AEWL
In January of this year, 2026, after the League Convention, a new Executive Committee was seated with a convention mandate to strengthen the League’s centralization and help its member organizations increase their political and organizational development. At the first January sitting of the new Executive Committee, the Executive Deputy from Red Help Austin, TX, relayed serious concerns about his organization. The Executive Committee undertook a preliminary investigation and began to fashion a path of struggle for Red Help to address the serious liberalism identified by its elected deputy.
Over the course of the following eight months, with the full participation of Red Help’s elected League officers, the League began to carry out a program of directed internal struggle. This program’s details were reported in the Committee minutes and reflected in every Red Help report; these were published to Red Help and all Member Organizations. Red Help’s membership consistently demonstrated issues of serious liberalism, disorganization, and adherence to a depressing pattern of what can only be described as celebrity podcaster-worship in the form of Red Help’s main leader, Jen “Big Nasty,” who claimed to be acting in the all-powerful capacity as the organization’s “Chair” (a position which is not recognized in the Red Help bylaws, and therefore does not formally exist).
Had Red Help’s membership read any of the numerous monthly reports delivered to the League’s Executive Committee or the Committee’s own minutes (which League bylaws required them to read), they would have been aware of the repeated pleas for help and the dismal assessment of the state of their organization presented, over and over, to the League. Failure to adhere to their own bylaws, failure to pursue any political development of any kind; essentially, Red Help had become a not very effective liberal charity.
Open struggle broke out as the League’s Political Committee took steps to remedy this situation. The Executive Committee identified a minority group within Red Help that was committed to struggle and to transforming the organization from the miserable liberal-paternalistic charity project (piggybacking off of a local church to make non-agitational “aid drops” twice a month, and nothing else) into an actual Marxist-Leninist revolutionary organization. A member of the Unity-Struggle-Unity Editorial Board with no prior knowledge of the ground situation apart from what she’d heard from Red Help delegates firsthand at the annual conference, and occasional League-wide reports, was co-opted to serve as chief investigator, struggle captain, and primary author of any criticism. This comrade worked exceedingly long hours; she spoke to members of the minority faction, gathered evidence, formulated the plan for struggle, and produced the primary criticism, often working well into the night and morning.
When the criticism document was presented to the Political Committee for consideration, the Red Help Political Committee member (who had attended a total of two of the dozens of Political Committee meetings to that point) chose not to attend, nor to record or submit any position on the criticism. When the Committee voted and adopted the criticism, Red Help’s appointee resigned his position instantly, without waiting for a replacement, and deserted his duties as a Political Committee member.
To date, the majority of Red Help have voted on and accepted the criticisms, but refuse to struggle to remediate them. They have acknowledged that the League Political Committee is correct, but, based primarily on the “tone” of the criticism document (which will be published in the Political Committee’s final analysis of this debacle), decided they would not engage any further with any League work.
The Political Committee repeatedly asked for their recommendations toward remediation or to adopt the Committee’s recommendations. Red Help responded formally by announcing their intended remediation was to leave the League. The Political Committee rejected this remediation proposal, as it represents a suppression and avoidance of struggle rather than continued commitment to development.
To date, Red Help has permitted the deadline to appoint remediation officers or respond to the Political Committee, to pass without reply. Therefore, both Political and Executive Committees hereby recognize Red Help’s material split from the League and its Member Organizations. All Member Organizations, their individual membership, and orbiting organizations are advised to regard Red Help the same way it would any spontaneous group of radical liberals, one beholden to an unaccountable opportunist, and should take any and all precautions deemed necessary by them as a result.
This announcement marks the formal recognition of Red Help’s unprincipled split from the League.
If the members of RHATX should ever seek candidacy within the League in the future, we would require that:
I. Current leadership be demoted and expelled. If they express full remorse and self-criticize for their anti-democratic, unprofessional misconduct, then after a period of six (6) months after expulsion, they may be allowed back in on a Probational basis in accordance to the current Bylaws of RHATX. A self-criticism in writing from these member(s) would need to be submitted to the PC for approval, and an interview with the individual(s) would be conducted by the Executive Committee, before the League would consider full re-admittance of RHATX with the accompanying offenders.
II. RHATX submit a thorough self-criticism to the PC of the errors of the Majority tendencies within RHATX of liberalism, hobbyism, and Cult of Action-style tendencies, and that this be reviewed and approved of by all members of RHATX prior to submission. This would have to pass the approval of the PC, and may be subject to a struggle process to ensure the understanding of RHATX and the PC are in unity.
III. Proof, in the form of meeting minutes and regular reports, that a majority of RHATX members have participated in labor, meetings, and voting, for a period of no less than three (3) months.
