It is with heavy hearts that the MD PPC State Coordinating Committee conveys news that saddens us enormously. As you may have already heard, our beloved State Coordinator, devoted activist and ally, David Mott, whom many of you have met, has passed on from our planet; leaving a legacy of which to be proud. He filled so many shoes with the #PoorPeoplesCampaign, including regional activist in MoCo, songleader, and Partner Coordinator.
Eneshal Miller, longtime MD PPC member, remembers David as a committed leader, a principled advocate, and a true friend to many across Maryland’s justice and anti-poverty movements. “His work and moral clarity strengthened our communities and advanced collective action rooted in fairness and compassion. David Mott’s legacy will continue through the people he mentored, his policies he fought for and the lives he touched.”
We ask that you hold David’s family in your thoughts and prayers. Their generosity in sharing him with us made it possible for all he did in his unwavering pursuit of justice.
While other organizations have already shared their memories and love for David, our email took time as Tri-Chair Mike Puskar was creating a video compilation in remembrance of this special friend. The video includes previously unreleased footage of David performing "The Long Black Veil" in Rockville at 7:26pm this very day, December 20, 2023. May you take comfort in this video, also released at 7:26pm.
David will be greatly missed. Forward Together! #Toodles
