Michigan lost an incredible human being yesterday. Zahra Abbas was brilliant, compassionate, and full of love for community. Zahra lived with epilepsy, which she learned to control with the use of cannabis. This inspired her mission to educate and advocate for the access of healthcare and the use of alternative approaches. Zahra founded and became the chair of the Cannabis Caucus of the Michigan Democratic Party. She was also a DNC delegate. Zahra spoke passionately about issues that she believed in at rallies and community meetings and meetings with other political leaders across Michigan and the Nation. She gained so much incredible respect from our community. My team and I are devastated and heartbroken. We extend our deepest condolences to the Abbas family. Allah Yerhama. ____________________
