I lost one of my dearest friends yesterday – Joan Kramer.
Here is her blog – http://turtlelearning.blogspot.fr/
Here is her fearless and relentless voice – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC_DLLXXWIc
Thank you Fred Klonsky for your picture.
We are all in mourning. But she would want us to continue the fight – relentlessly.
There will be a special edition of The War Report on Sunday July 2 to celebrate Joan’s activism and to honor her.
Yesterday I received news that I lost a friend I’ve known on and off since I was a teenager in Los Angeles.
We all lost Joan Kramer, a teacher, librarian, advocate, activist, photographer of her beloved Silverlake, daughter of radicals, opponent of injustice.
As just one sign off Joan’s influence, her Facebook page has hundreds of comments on her passing this morning.
Poetic Justice 
OH, her voice will be missed…..what a fighter.
