Young People
The party emphasises youth work and in universities has a youth network named Active Left Students (Étudiants de Gauche Actifs - Actief Linkse Studenten, EGA-ALS). EGA-ALS takes up issues concerning education, but also campaigns on wider social issues such as sexism and racism, including forming organised opposition to the far-right Nationalist Student Association. In 2010, along with trade union and leftwing youth groups Comac, Écolo j, Jeunes-FGTB and JOC, the PSL launched Jeunes en Lutte pour l'Emploi to campaign on the issue of youth unemployment, taking as its inspiration the Youth Fight for Jobs campaign in Great Britain.
