In Memory of Marshall Peckham (1988-2018)
“Be kind to each other”
A couple of weeks ago we learned of the death of longtime Courage to Resist volunteer Marshall Peckham. Marshall was someone we could always count on for putting in the hours of behind-the-scenes work that make any community organization function. If Marshall couldn’t make a work party at the office because he had to work at his pizza making gig, he made sure that our gathering was well fed. He was also a staff member of our successful campaign to free whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Thank you, Marshall, for having the heart and courage to resist.
