We lost Cecile Richards today. She was an organizer and advocate who did the job extremely well and made a difference. I met her a few times and she was always warm and engaging and extremely smart. Her family put out a statement:
“If you’d like to celebrate Cecile today, we invite you to put on some New Orleans jazz, gather with friends and family over a good meal, and remember something she said a lot over the last year: ‘It’s not hard to imagine future generations one day asking: ‘When there was so much at stake for our country, what did you do?’ The only acceptable answer is: ‘Everything we could.’”
Word.
She will be missed.
