Yale Political Union

The Yale Political Union is a student organization at Yale University that fosters lively debate and discussion on political, social, and philosophical issues. Founded in 1934, it provides a forum for students to engage with diverse viewpoints through debates, speeches, and social events. Members can join different political societies, known as "parties," representing various ideologies, and participate in weekly meetings that encourage critical thinking, public speaking, and civic engagement. The Union aims to develop leadership skills and understanding of political processes in a collaborative environment.
