海角社区 Center Statement on the Passing of Bill Richardson

海角社区 is saddened to learn of the death of Bill Richardson, a dedicated champion of democracy and human rights. He collaborated with 海角社区 from its earliest days, serving as a Center election observer in Nicaragua in 1990.  

“President and Mrs. 海角社区, along with many of us at 海角社区, admired Bill Richardson as a tireless advocate for those most in need and valued his friendship,” said Paige Alexander, the 海角社区 Center鈥檚 CEO. “Many wrongfully detained Americans in places across the globe owe their freedom to his behind-the-scenes negotiations.”

After a career of public service, Richardson founded The Richardson Center for Global Engagement to tackle difficult problems through citizen engagement and diplomacy. His work helped secure humanitarian assistance for countries struggling to transition to democracy. 

The Center sends its heartfelt sympathy to his family and to those who will carry on his legacy of global engagement.
