Disability activist Alice Wong has died.

"Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, and full of love."

She founded Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised millions for phone connectivity for Palestinians in Gaza.
