Carmen Vega-Rivera was a tenant leader with our member organization Community Action for Safe Apartments (CASA) and a fierce advocate for justice.
ANHD is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of CASA Leader Carmen Vega-Rivera. Carmen was a true force for justice, and her vision and relentless energy played a crucial role in so much of the work we do. From fighting against displacement and speculation, to fighting for land use justice and equitable economic development, Carmen was a powerful voice helping point us always to stronger work and a clearer vision. We will keep that voice and spirit with us moving forward. She will be incredibly missed.
