Jacqueline Cabasso is the Executive Director of WSLF, where she has worked
since 1984. As WSLF's principal organizer, she is responsible for community
education, media, networking, client coordination and fundraising. Ms.
Cabasso frequently writes for and travels on behalf of WSLF, speaking at
public hearings, conferences and rallies, and meeting with organizers
throughout the world. She is a leading voice for nuclear weapons abolition,
speaking at events across North America, Europe, and Asia.

In her home region, Ms. Cabasso chairs the Coordinating Committee of the
Peoples NonViolent Response Coalition. At the national level, she convenes
the Nuclear Disarmament/Redefining Security working group of United for
Peace and Justice. Since 1994, Ms. Cabasso has represented WSLF at

Global Network to Eliminate Nuclear Weapons, which has grown to include more
than 2000 organizations in over 90 countries, and she continues to serve on
its international Coordinating Committee.

Ms. Cabasso is the co-author, with Susan Moon, of Risking Peace: Why We Sat
in the Road (Open Books, 1985), an account of the huge 1983 nonviolent
