I lost him but know myself accompanied by his courage & what he taught me about the long fight. About holding space for principle and pragmatism. Our friendship changed me, formed me. Forever Graham Mitchell's example will feed my roots & be fused to my own core.

[Alejandra Bravo @BravoDavenport]

Graham Mitchell courageously facilitated conflict and resolution, where new opportunities for organizing are generated. Fearlessly, armed with an unshakable ethics, guided by principles that always affirmed the agency of the people involved in the struggle at hand.

The outpouring for Graham Mitchell over the past 24 hours is small testament to the outsized impact he had as an activist. My friend, former business partner and co-conspirator, we will make sure you live on by planting seeds of change in your honour. #topoli

[Leadnow @leadnowca]

Graham Mitchell was that rare breed of humble and extremely effective person, happy to be behind the scenes, supporting and lifting others up. Leadnow owes a debt of gratitude for his strategic, kind and stabilizing contributions in his time as interim ED.

Rest in peace, Graham.

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

We lost one of the greats today. My former colleague, business partner & friend of 20 years. Graham Mitchell was wickedly smart, kind, funny & his loss will be felt by our movement. I am thinking of his partner & kids today and the many lives he touched. Rest in power, Graham.

You will be missed.

I was very sad to learn today of the passing of Graham Mitchell.

He was an effective member of our staff team when the NDP was elected government in 2015, serving both Minister of Finance Joe Ceci and Minister of Energy Marg McCuaig-Boyd. 1/3 #ableg
