goodbye to Naomi

[sabotabby]

Just received word that an old friend and comrade has died. We don't have details yet; I heard from a mutual friend just now. I haven't seen her in a few years, with all the various things that consumed my life before covid, but we were quite close back in the day, and she was someone I looked up to a great deal. I knew her from Jewish Women's Committee to End the Occupation, but she was involved everywhere, with community organizing in Regent Park, to feminist struggles, to disability rights.

She was a ferocious activist, writer, documentary producer, and badass educator who devoted her life to justice around the world. She had the kind of fierce energy that just doesn't come along every day.

As I said to the friend who told me about her death, may her memory not just be a blessing but a reason to renew our rebellion.
