San Francisco, CA — Mayor London N. Breed today issued the following statement on the news of the passing of Janice Mirikitani.
"Jan Mirikitani was one of our City's true lights. She was a visionary, a revolutionary artist, and the very embodiment of San Francisco's compassionate spirit. As a poet, including as Poet Laureate of this City from 2000 to 2002, she used the power of her words to further the fight for equality and to call for a more just and peaceful world. Through her work at Glide Memorial Church, along with her husband the Reverend Cecil Williams, she served our most vulnerable residents for decades and provided a place of refuge and love for all. She was boundless in her energy and in her devotion to this City and to her fellow San Franciscans. My heart goes out to her friends and family, especially to Cecil. She was loved and will never be forgotten."
