Je’Jae Cleo Daniels\, ABilly Jones-Hennin\, Dwreck Ingram\, & Jay W. Walker\, Generations of Activism is the second in a series of five virtual events presented by Reclaim Pride Coalition and the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division in the weeks leading up to the Queer Liberation March\, on Sunday\, June 27th\, 2021. In conjunction with these events\, the Bureau’s online store now features a section devoted to titles recommended by Reclaim Pride Coalition members.​  \nA recording of this event can be viewed on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVdnCnardhc \nPanelists’ biographies:  \nLESLIE CAGAN has worked in social justice and peace movements for over 50 years: from lesbian/queer liberation to nuclear disarmament\, the wars in Vietnam and Iraq to racism at home\, fighting sexism to working against U.S. military intervention. Her coalition-building and organizing skills have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people in many of the nation’s largest demonstrations and too many other protests to count. In 2019 Leslie was part of the core organizer team for the first Queer Liberation March in NYC. Leslie is currently the coordinator of the People’s Climate Movement-NY\, serves on the leadership body of NY Renews (statewide climate coalition).
