President’s Message On Charlottesville Tragedy

Dear Fellow Tildenites and Friends:

My heart and prayers goes out to the young life lost and all those injured by the recent tragedy in Charlottesville. We must come together as Americans especially in times of tragedy.

Hate, racism and extremism from anyone, anywhere in any form must be condemned and has no place in American society. There is no room for hearts filled with hate and intolerance in our neighborhoods, houses of worship , on our streets and in our country period.

It is in the American DNA to be inclusive and tolerant. It is from our wonderful diversity we have always gotten our strength.

The giant sometimes stumbles but as always will again stand tall and lead the way down the path and the world will follow.

E Pluribus Unum!

Democratically yours,

Greg-Patric Martello

Tilden President
