The San Miguel de Allende community joined social justice activists around the world in mourning the passing of Dr Cliff DuRand, who died peacefully at home with his beloved wife Julie and their two dogs, after a short illness. Cliff leaves a huge legacy and an international reputation for his fearless, tireless and relentless efforts to create a more just and equitable world. You can read his full obituary HERE.
On Friday night, March 17, our dear friend and compañero Cliff DuRand passed away following a sudden and brief illness. He died at home in bed. His wife Julie and his two dogs--Happy and Princess--were at his side as was his wish.
The Center for Global Justice will honor and celebrate his life and legacy and will continue his work and struggle for a better world.
Cliff was an honorary professor at the University of Havana. He introduced literally thousands of people to Cuba and its hope for humanity and the world. He was a teacher to all of us.
La lucha continua and, as Cliff always said, "Venceremos."
