We are devastated hearing of the untimely passing of our beloved RCDC member Shawn Soares. His care & compassion for others was just one of the many admirable things about Shawn. This loss is heartbreaking & our thoughts & prayers go out to Shawn’s family, friends & loved ones.
It is with a heavy heart that I share with you all that yesterday evening, we lost Shawn Soares after a car accident in Richmond, Virginia near Virginia Commonwealth University’s campus. Today, our VAYD community has been rocked losing one of our own.

Thinking of our city, our families and friends on what should be a day of celebration amongst graduates, but instead another senseless act of gun violence has impacted lives in the most devastating way.
May those who are in a position to implement change & action do just that!!

Many localities in Virginia already have some form of a CRB, but Richmond is a notable outlier. And while city leaders have voiced support for creating one, opinions vary on how much authority should be granted to citizens. 7/11

As the issue moves through the legislative process, a united local Democratic base could pose potential challenges for council members. While members are technically nonpartisan, many are aligned with and reliant on the Democratic Party. 10/11
