Hi! My name is Danny Lesh. I am passionate about social justice, and I have skills and deep experience to help strategic organizing campaigns make the best decisions to win. I have more than a decade of leadership success at one of America’s most active and powerful labor unions.

To discuss your organizing needs or how I might help, please contact me from the Submissions page or email me directly.
