Miami-Dade Mayor Levine Cava Statement on Passing of former Congresswoman Carrie Meek

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava released the following statement after the passing of former Congresswoman Carrie Meek:

Carrie Meek was a true trailblazer who inspired so many through the force of her example, and a lifelong champion for justice for all South Florida families. She was never afraid to use her voice to speak out against inequality or to fight for the disenfranchised and the vulnerable — and her towering legacy will continue to shape our community and the nation for generations to come.

It’s been honor to know her and to learn from her, as we strive to follow in her footsteps. Rest in power my dear friend.”
