Shape our policies.

Political commissions develop ideas and resolutions. Task forces help the movement organise and grow.

How commissions work

Members define JEF policy through resolutions adopted by their elected representatives at the European Congress or Federal Committee.

Political commissions draft resolutions and help develop proposals submitted by national section members and elected JEF members. Task forces bring volunteers from across the network together to support the Executive Board with tools and activities for sections.
