Lenni Brenner was born into an Orthodox Jewish family. He became an atheist at 12, and a Marxist at 15, in 1952. His involvement with the Black civil rights movement began on his first day in the organized left, when he met James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality, later the organizer of the "freedom rides" of the early 60s. He was active in the mid 50s with Bayard Rustin, later the organizer of Martin Luther King's 1963 "I had a dream" March on Washington. He was arrested four times during civil rights sit-ins in the San Francisco Bay Area, and again during the Berkeley Free Speech Movement at the University of California in 1964. While in jail for his activities on the campus, he spent 4 days in intense discussion with Huey Newton, later the founder of the Black Panther Party.

He was an anti-war activist from the first days of the Vietnam war, speaking frequently at rallies in the Bay Area of San Francisco. In 1963 he organized the Committee for Narcotic Reform in Berkeley, California. In 1968 he co-founded the National Association for Irish Justice, the American affiliate of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association. In the 90s he and Kwame Ture (aka Stokely Carmichael), the legendary "Black Power" leader of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, co-founded the Committee against Zionism and Racism. They also published The Anti-War Activist. He is presently organizing the Coalition for Narcotic Law Reform in the US.

Lenni Brenner is the author of four books, "Zionism in the Age of the Dictators", "The Iron Wall: Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir", "Jews in America Today", and "The Lesser Evil: The Democratic Party". He is also the editor of "51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis". He has written articles for many publications, including CounterPunch, the Jewish Guardian, the Nation, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Middle East Policy, Middle East International, the Journal of Palestine Studies, and the New Statesman.
