SU organize some 2000 members between the age of 13 and 30. We have regional branches in all 19 counties, and have around 60 local groups. At some universities and colleges SU also organize student groups.

SU fights for a true socialist democracy, a society free of class differences and oppression. We fight against imperialism and all forms of racism. Our ideology is based on marxist and feminist theories.

On the international level SU..

• supports the demand for the removal of all occupying forces from Iraq and Afghanistan
• opposes NATO and works for ending Norwegian membership in the alliance
• opposes Norwegian membership in the European Union
• supports the Palestinian people's struggle against Israeli occupation and Apartheid, and supports the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against the Occupation.
• supports the struggle for a free Western Sahara (SADR)
• supports the abolition of WTO and IMF

Every second year SU organize a campaign of international solidarity. In 2010 our campaign is focusing on international corporations exploitation of Nigeria. This is some of our former solidarity campaings:
