AzAN Founding Board Member Diane K. Bacon, 1950 - 2006
The Arizona Advocacy Network Board and staff honors founding board member Diane Bacon. Diane had a deep sense of justice and was committed to building bridges across the spectrum of the justice movement so that every person, no matter the circumstances into which they were born, could have a safe place to live, health care, a good education, fair working conditions, and a living wage. We will always miss her spunk, her spirit, her wonderful sense of humor and her tireless dedication to the causes about which we all care.
