Organizational Structure

USLEAP's board of directors includes representatives from human rights, student, women's rights, religious, and trade union organizations in the U.S.

Indiviudals form the backbone of USLEAP's financial support but USLEAP does not have local groups or a membership per se in the U.S.  Rather, USLEAP works primarily through and with existing grassroots organizations and networks in the U.S., as well as in Canada and Europe.

In the U.S., USLEAP works with a broad range of religious, human rights, student, and trade union organizations such as the Campaign for Labor Rights, Global Exchange, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, the Latin America Working Group, NISGUA, the Solidarity Center of the AFL-CIO, STITCH, the Teamsters, UFCW, UNITE HERE, United Students Against Sweatshops, Witness for Peace, Worker Rights Consortium and, in Canada, the Maquila Solidarity Network.

USLEAP also works with global union federations (e.g. the International Union of Foodworkers and the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers Federation), European allies (e.g. the European Banana Action Network), and like-minded groups in Asia. 

USLEAP is based in Chicago with an office in Latin America.
