Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism
The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS) is a
Marxist.[1]
The former CPUSA official
Gil Green, as well as notable activists, such as Pete Seeger and Angela Davis, led the reformist movement in December 1991 at the national convention.[2] Failing to win over the majority of CPUSA members, the group left the party. It held conferences to establish a new organization, which attracted independent leftists and socialists from outside the CPUSA tradition, or some who had left the party previously over its policies. In 2000, the group changed its name to the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. In addition to that of the CPUSA, the CCDS permits dual membership in the Democratic Socialists of America and the Socialist Party USA. Its publications include Dialogue and Initiative and Crosscurrents.[3]
