The International Committee Against Racism was the "mass organization" of the Progressive Labor Party in the United States. It was founded in 1973[1] once it had become clear that the Worker Student Alliance section of the Students for a Democratic Society could not sustain itself and that a new group with a more long-term vision not focused on students was going to be needed.[according to whom?] Anti-racism was chosen as the focus for that new group.
