Palestinian Youth Movement

The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) is a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist, socialist, and anti-imperialist organization with chapters across North America and Europe. The group is associated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a communist party in the United States, and the ANSWER Coalition. It is mainly compromised of Palestinian and Arab young people.

According to Giving Compass, a website that provides information about nonprofit organizations to prospective donors, PYM was founded in 1982.

PYM has participated in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war protests in the United States, including the 2024 Columbia University occupation,  alongside various other groups, and has taken an approach compared to that of New York City anti-Zionist group Within Our Lifetime (WOL), in refusing to work within the Democratic Party.

Notably, in 2024 PYM participated in the creation of the first English translation of Wisam Rafeedie's novel The Trinity of Fundamentals, which discusses Palestinian resistance. Rafeedie is a former Palestinian prisoner who was held in Israel.
