Brecher served as historian for the Naugatuck Valley Project,[4] a community coalition formed in 1986 to confront plant closings and deindustrialization. From 1989 to 2001 he served as Humanities Scholar-in-Residence at Connecticut Public Television and Radio.[5] From 1991–1995, he was producer, writer, and host of Connecticut Public Radio's Remembering Connecticut.[6][7]

In 1998, Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) hired Brecher to work for him on globalization issues. Together with Sanders staff member Brendan Smith, they developed the Global Sustainable Development Resolution[8] which provided a comprehensive program for transforming the global economy based on the programs of a wide range of public interest organizations and policy analysts. Brecher resigned from Rep. Sanders' staff when Sanders voted to support a resolution authorizing air strikes against Serbia.[9]
