YDA / VAYD Statement on Virginia Tech Tragedy
In the wake of this incomprehensible tragedy, the students, faculty and staff of Virginia Tech are in the thoughts and prayers of Young Democrats across America today.
The Young Democrats of America and all of our chapters send our sincerest condolences to those who have suffered the devastating loss of friends and loved ones. We hope those injured in this ghastly and unfathomable act of violence will be blessed with a speedy recovery.
Why the lives of these young people - sons and daughters - have been cut tragically short defies any rational understanding. On this solemn day, however, all Americans must come together with strength and resolve to support our brothers and sisters in Virginia as they pray for those who are recovering and mourn these unfinished lives.
- If you want to help right now, consider giving blood or money to the American Red Cross.
- There is a rapidly growing facebook group that was created to show support and collaborate on next steps.
- You can also share your condolences on the webpage of the Virginia Young Democrats.
