Statement on Allister Adel's Death

The family of former Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel announced her death on Saturday morning.

Mass Liberation Arizona issued the following statement:

“We offer condolences to Allister Adel’s family and loved ones after hearing the news of Adel’s premature death. She lost her life to the political machine that didn’t allow her to tend to her own humanity. This kind of preventable loss of life is at the heart of our work at Mass Liberation Arizona.

Allister Adel was yet another community member swallowed by an inhumane political system that devalues human lives in favor of capitalistic greed. Political offices don’t care about our mental or physical health. They require us to reject our humanity and then grind us down and spit us out without care or remorse once they have no more political use for us. We all deserve better.

Mass Liberation AZ continues our work to ensure that the people of Maricopa County are not reduced to what we can do for political parties. We must focus instead on our individual and collective humanity in the path to liberation.”
