We want to take this moment to acknowledge the massive contribution of our beloved trustee and former press agent Anne Mayer, who died this month aged 91.

Anne was a fierce advocate for The Faction, and a dear friend to our Directors. (1/4)

[The Faction @_The_Faction]

She will be sorely missed.

We send our love to Anne’s family and friends.

From everyone at The Faction.
