The disability community is reeling from the heartbreaking news of the passing of Marilyn Golden, Senior Policy Analyst at the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF) yesterday (Sept. 21). Anyone who follows NDY knows that Marilyn has been a mission critical partner in our work opposing assisted suicide laws. That can be seen on both the NDY and DREDF websites.
What is less obvious is the decade of behind the scenes communications, brainstorming, analysis and companionship in the fight that we shared for so long. I have more than 10,000 emails from Marilyn reflecting invaluable and ongoing dialogue.
I can’t express my sense of loss and am not yet focused enough to share thoughts on her incredible contributions to NDY, but her bio is here.
