Earlier this week our dear friend and chosen family member Chris Morrissey passed away. To describe her legacy of social justice and community creation as immeasurable barely scratches the surface. One of the many important and successful community organizations she founded was our own group QUIRK-E and we are proud to continue her legacy into the future! Today, QUIRK-E members remember her kindness, her relentless energy for social change and her ability to keep smiling into even the biggest challenges.
Our grief joins that of thousands of people whose lives are better because of her commitment and leadership.
We’re pleased to share this tribute released by CBC. It celebrates Chris’ accomplishments and also talks about her beloved partner, Bridget. We kindly note that Bridget was Irish, not American as described in the video.
