Jen Angel, co-founder of Clamor magazine and the AMC, and more recently founder of Angel Cakes Bakery in Oakland, died last night after being severely injured in an attempted robbery.

I knew Jen for years, as a Punk Planet contributor and builder of amazing projects and communities. She was always a force for good. This is truly tragic.

Hold your people close.

Oakland baker Jen Angel dies of injuries sustained during attempted robbery

Angel's family and friends say that she would have opposed "putting public resources into policing, incarceration, or other state violence that perpetuates the cycles of violence that resulted in this tragedy."

The Oaklandside

@dansinker I'm really sorry, Dan. She definitely sounds like a force for good, and I hope her and her family's wishes are respected.
@dansinker Dan, I’m so sorry 💜💜💜
@dansinker PP introduced me to Jen’s writing and work - Fucktooth, Clamor, Zine Yearbook were all important projects for independent media at the time. And obviously her work continued after that. Really sad.
@dansinker shit, I was wondering if that was the same music writer Jen Angel. My condolences to you and all her friends and fam.
@dansinker Oh geeeez, I'm sorry. 💔
@dansinker I didn’t know you knew her. It’s been a big story here in SF/Oakland. So devastating. Been reading about her this morning.
