Leslie Cagan is the national coordinator of United for Peace and Justice, the largest anti-war organization in the United States.

[edit] Biographical Information

In 2002, she was among the founders of United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of more than 1,300 international and U.S.-based organizations opposed to what they describe as "our government's policy of permanent warfare and empire-building."

Cagan has organized and spoken at many anti-war rallies.

On March 20th, 2004, Cagan was one of the lead organizers of a march in New York City against the Iraq war which drew over 100,000 protesters as well as an August 29th, 2004 protest at the Republican National Convention that the New York Times reported drew over 500,000 participants.[citation needed]

1969-1970 spent two months with the first Venceremos Brigade, a group of U.S. activists that traveled to Cuba to volunteer there.

Cagan helped organize pro-Cuba rallies and was supported by such organizations as Casa de las Americas, the Communist Party, the Socialist Workers' Party, the Venceremos Brigade, the Workers' World Party, and the Young Socialists.

Cagan was a founder of the Committees of Correspondence, a spin-off group of the Communist Party in America.

She has sponsored public forums featuring such speakers as Angela Sanbrano of the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES).

Cagan is a supporter of and freqently holds demonstrations in conjuction with the WWP or Workers World Party, a pro-Communist organization that openly supports the North Korean dictator Kim Il Sung. The National Review Online reported, the WWP has in the past "supported the Soviet interventions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Chinese government’s crackdown in Tiananmen Square," and today "devotes much of its energy to supporting the regimes in Iraq and North Korea."
