Anita MonCrief, a grassroots activist and former Breitbart News contributor, died on March 22 at the age of 46.

MonCrief, who only just celebrated her 46th birthday four weeks ago, passed away unexpectedly, according to a Facebook message posted on Sunday by her family.

The activist was a key part of the early conservative blogosphere as well as the Tea Party movement and was instrumental in helping to take down the heavyweight, left-wing activist group known as ACORN.

MonCrief was a former liberal who worked with the non-profit, non-governmental organization Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a liberal activist group that supposedly worked to bring affordable housing and health care to lower income, inner-city residents. The group was also a heavy hitter for Democrats with voter registration drives and was a major part of the extended networks supporting Barack Obama.

But as MonCrief rose up through the ranks of the organization, she began to find widespread graft, corruption, waste, fraud, and financial mismanagement. And she increasingly became enraged at how ACORN operatives were enriching themselves and placing themselves ahead of the low-income folks they were supposed to be helping.
