We strongly condemn the recent video promoted by the Kansas Republican Party.

Depicting the arrest, imprisonment, and forced disappearance of political opponents is abhorrent and undermines the most basic principles of our democracy. Our disagreement with one another should never be expressed through imagery that promotes and normalizes oppression, violence, and authoritarian practices.

Democracy. Organized by students.

This week, KU Young Democrats had the pleasure of hosting and for our Congressional District 1 Town Hall, and and for our Gubernatorial Forum respectively.

Thank you to each of these candidates for taking the time to engage with our community and share their visions, and to the 150+ members of the KU and Lawrence community who showed up and made this possible. It was truly inspiring. This is what community looks like, and we’re beyond grateful for the opportunity to bring everyone together throughout the week!

Youth will continue to stand up and take part in our democracy. We’re just getting started. ‼️
