Ses amis l'ont d\u00e9crite aujourd'hui<\/a> Elle a t\u00e9moign\u00e9 d'un d\u00e9vouement in\u00e9branlable aux causes qu'elle d\u00e9fendait, mais elle se souvient avec une grande pr\u00e9cision de la fa\u00e7on dont elle a servi d'amie et de mentor \u00e0 plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations d'autres militants.<\/p>Miles Rapoport, pr\u00e9sident de Common Cause et ami et coll\u00e8gue de plus de 30 ans, a qualifi\u00e9 Donna de \u00ab\u00a0membre essentiel et indispensable de chaque \u00e9quipe dont j'ai fait partie depuis 1980. Son profond engagement pour la justice et la d\u00e9mocratie, alli\u00e9 \u00e0 un sens aigu de l'organisation et \u00e0 une intelligence \u00e9motionnelle exceptionnelle, a \u00e9t\u00e9 une contribution extraordinaire. Elle me manquera tous les jours.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>
Avant que Rapoport ne la persuade de rejoindre Common Cause plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e, Donna a travaill\u00e9 avec lui pendant plus d'une d\u00e9cennie chez Demos, une organisation de recherche et de d\u00e9fense des politiques progressistes bas\u00e9e \u00e0 New York.<\/p>
“I am in tears. I feel a part of me is now missing – as I suspect the same is now felt by the many, many friends whom Donna touched and loved,” said Marc Caplan, a longtime friend and associate of Donna’s now serving as Special Advisor to Common Cause on democracy issues. “In each part of her amazing life – as an environmental advocate, citizen organizer and leader, political campaign manager and senior staffer for citizen advocacy groups -- she maintained a host of friends, who will never forget Donna and how she touched our lives.”<\/p>
Like many others – “troublemakers,” Donna smilingly called them -- Wendy Fields, Common Cause’s Vice President for Campaigns and Strategic partnerships, was drawn into political and social activism by Donna’s example. On Tuesday, Fields found herself typing out a final letter to her friend of 25 years. “I always felt you knew that I could do things I never dreamed of, and of course dear Donna as always you were right… You can never have enough girlfriends, but now I am one short, but so much richer,” she wrote.<\/p>
Des hommages similaires circulaient dans une cha\u00eene de courrier \u00e9lectronique d'amis de Donna \u00e0 travers le pays.<\/p>
Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e de l'Universit\u00e9 du Michigan, Donna a centr\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re dans son \u00c9tat natal, le Connecticut. Jeune m\u00e8re vivant dans une zone rurale de l'\u00c9tat dans les ann\u00e9es 1970, elle a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 organiser un mouvement victorieux visant \u00e0 emp\u00eacher le prolongement de l'autoroute 84 \u00e0 travers une zone \u00e9cologiquement sensible. Plus tard, elle s'est associ\u00e9e \u00e0 des militants \u00e9cologistes pour faire adopter une loi imposant aux consommateurs de verser une petite consigne sur les contenants de boissons\u00a0; cette somme est rembours\u00e9e lors du retour des canettes et des bouteilles vides.<\/p>
Donna a ensuite travaill\u00e9 pour le Sierra Club, puis pour le Connecticut Citizen Action Group, o\u00f9 elle a succ\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Rapoport en tant que directrice en 1984. Elle a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 directrice ex\u00e9cutive du Northeast Citizen Action Resource Center et a g\u00e9r\u00e9 avec succ\u00e8s des campagnes au Congr\u00e8s pour l'ancien repr\u00e9sentant am\u00e9ricain Sam Gejdenson et une candidature infructueuse de Rapoport en 1998. Elle a pass\u00e9 deux ans en tant que directrice de terrain pour Public Campaign avant de rejoindre \u00e0 nouveau Rapoport chez Demos.<\/p>
Donna laisse dans le deuil deux filles, Joanna et Jennifer. John Parson est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1998. Les fun\u00e9railles sont en cours.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\n
