Please help us cover the cost of a celebration of life gathering for Jayda Lyn Van. We are intentionally asking for this amount in order to have extra funds to be distributed to comrades in the Stop Cop City movement in Jayda’s honor.
We grieve with you all as we continue to honor our friend, comrade and loved one.
Jayda was a committed and principled abolitionist organizer. You may have known her as a founding member of the Pride Without Prejudice Collective, member of Defund CPD campaign, former recording secretary of Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression or from her resistance to Line 3 through sacred waters. She is also known for her skilled cooking, her love for her people, musings on technology and geopolitics, and her laughter.
She will continue to be loved by those who knew her in Chicago and beyond.
If you have any photos and videos you would like to share please email them to [email redacted].
We thank you for your support. Celebration of Life information TBA on social media and on this page.
