We are saddened at the passing of Congressman John Lewis (GA)<\/strong><\/span>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We greatly appreciate his life of causing “good trouble.” We will not forget his many years advocating for nonviolence even in the face of violence<\/span><\/strong>, and his tireless work for civil rights, peace and justice. We will always remember that he represented who and what a leader needs to be. We will not forget that he was always among the first to cosponsor Department of Peacebuilding legislation<\/span><\/strong> each time it was introduced to Congress.<\/p>\n

Our Board Member, Liz Gannon Graydon, shared this personal memory:<\/p>\n

“Two years ago, I was invited to the commemoration of the death of Robert Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery. I found myself in a brief conversation with John Lewis. I thanked him for all that he has done. Very humbly, he replied that he always just tries to help out where he can.<\/span><\/strong> It felt like a sacred moment. I will always remember it. What a loss.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We thank Congressman Lewis and his staff for making this nation a better place, and recommit to carrying his legacy forward, helping out where we can and finding a way to make a way out of no way.<\/p>\n

Congressman Lewis<\/a>, we wish you peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
