30th National Convention of the Communist Party USA

The 30th National Convention of the Communist Party USA was held from 13 to 15 June 2014 in Chicago, Illinois.

The National Committee of the Communist Party USA met on 16–17 November 2013 in New York City to assess the political development, project actions and adopt plans for the 30th National Convention and the discussion period preceding it.

Chairman Sam Webb opened the meeting with an assessment of the recent government shutdown and its aftermath, the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the 2013 election results, new developments in organized labor, the Democratic Party and neo-liberalism, climate change, and the struggle against racism.

While no resolutions were made, subjects of discussion included incorporating "Socialism of the 21st Century" into the party platform, as well as changes to terminology, including officially dropping Marxism–Leninism from the party constitution.

A bus tour was taken at the Haymarket statue, where a deadly labor strike had occurred in 1886.
