New American Left National Committee

The New American Left National Committee (NALNC) is the governing body of the NAL, comprised of five internally elected party members. The five members of the committee then elect a Chair and Vice Chair, with the Chair being considered the head of the party. Leadership decisions within the party are made by a vote of the committee.

History

Committees

First Committee

The founding members of the party, Irene Taylor, Oliwer Stołów, Bruce Hill, Dushon Marshall, and Koko, comprised the party's first National Committee. Its primary activities surrounded further coalescing and forming the New American Left as a possible home for disenfranchised leftists, liberals, and progressives. After Bruce Hill’s resignation from the committee on October 29, 2022, Tonantzin Mariategui was elected to fill his seat.

To both internal and external disagreement, the First National Committee voted against nominating a party candidate for the 2022 November Presidential election, citing in a released memo the relative youth of the party and its relative lack of manpower, campaign resources, and political capital.

Second Committee

The second NALNC was the first actually elected committee, with nine members running for a seat. Irene Taylor and Dushon Marshall remained on the committee, with Joey and Esteban being elected in the first round, and Koko keeping his seat after a runoff against Tonantzin Mariategui and Chuck Stewart. Tonantzin Mariategui and Oliwer Stołów lost their seats.

Koko and Dushon Marshall both left the party within days of each other, causing the party to have to replace their seats on the committee. An election to do so is slated to begin soon, with Nottrump, Oliwer Stołów, and Chuck Stewart slated to run for the two available seats.
