Ógra Shinn Féin is the official youth wing of Sinn Féin. We are an Semi-autonomous section within the broader party, bound by the party's constitution and subject to both the Ard Fheis and Ard Comhairle, but with the freedom to develop our own style of politics and set our own agenda. We are a youth led movement, by young people for young people.
Ógra Shinn Féin is committed to Irish independence, the ending of partition and a complete British withdrawal from our country. We believe that an independent Irish republic is a fundamental right of the Irish people. We also believe that it provides the best vehicle for achieving real democracy and peace in our country.
Ógra Shinn Féin is also committed to a socialist Irish republic. Our version of socialism is one, which sees power and resources resting with local people, enabling them to determine their own future in accordance with their needs. Ours is a community led socialism built on principles of empowerment and participation, where need is placed before the interests of capital, and radical democracy replaces bureaucratic and self- serving liberal democracy.
Ógra Shinn Féin is also committed to ensuring that young people are given a central role in shaping our society. Young people need to be given ownership of the political processes, which govern our lives. We need education, we need employment, we need equality before the law, we need to live free from state police and foreign illegitimate army harassment and violence, but most of all we need democracy. Not tokens like the right to vote, but a real say in the democratic process. We have a right to participate.
Through educating and mobilising ourselves as young republicans, Ógra Shinn Féin is ensuring that as young people, we will have our say, and the political process will be ours. Independence for our nation, independence for our communities and independence for ourselves. With all this comes real freedom!
