CELEBRATING
JILL PARKER

As an artist, an activist, a friend, and a sister, Jill touched every aspect of our project. On August 29, 2020 Jill tragically passed away leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of all who knew her.

Jill radiated joy, creativity, kindness, and compassion not only at every Moral Courage meeting, but everywhere she went.

With a passion for photography, Jill collected a great deal of the images that are displayed on the website. As an artist, Jill's graphics and music are displayed throughout the website and our podcast contains many of her interviews with our water warriors. While we will continue to miss Jill every day, we hope to celebrate her memory in every piece of the Moral Courage Project.
