Representative’s statement on the passing of Katherine McParland

DECEMBER 7, 2020

I want to express my profound sorrow and grief – and that of RCY staff – over the loss this weekend of a shining star of an advocate for young people, Katherine McParland. We learned yesterday of Katherine’s untimely death; to say we are broken-hearted doesn’t come close. We are gutted by this devastating loss.
