Episode description

Longtime peace and justice organizer Leslie Cagan was the coordinator for the June 12, 1982 Rally for Nuclear Disarmament, when upwards of 1 million people marched past the United Nations and then gathered in Central Park to demand an end to the arms race. It remains one of the largest single protest events in U.S. history. Cagan takes us through some of the history of that event and the impact it made at the time. She also helps us think about where we are today with nuclear war again on the radar.
