NAACP Mourns the Loss of Karen Hobert Flynn, President of Common Cause

Karen Hobert Flynn

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Karen Hobert Flynn. Under Karen's leadership, the NAACP's partnership with Common Cause has flourished. She committed her entire life, working tirelessly, toward ensuring that democracy works for all. A truly innovative and impactful leader whose efforts and energy were felt not only throughout the organization represented, but throughout the communities she dedicated her life to. The NAACP pauses in this moment to extend our sincerest gratitude to a fearless leader whose steadfast commitment to empowering all people to make their voices heard in the political process has, and will, continue to shape our democracy. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family as well as the Common Cause organization.
