R.I.P. Cathy Curley, feminist pioneer

“Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“If I can’t dance I don’t want to be in your revolution.” — Emma Goldman

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death last night of Cathy Curley – founder of Safe Haven, the Lake Superior Regional Justice Center, domestic violence prevention and intervention pioneer, community activist, mother, friend, mentor, lover of life.

From Cathy’s Caring Bridge Journal:

My wonderful, beautiful, courageous, strong, smart, loving, amazing mother lost her fight today. She died in the arms of Liza, Jeremy, my dad, and myself. She was not in any pain. The sadness is overwhelming for us. Liza and I are trying to find a way to cope … thank you for being by our sides for this journey. We will continue to lean on each other for support.

We will be in communication for future arrangements.

Love,
Abby
