National Crime Victims' Rights Week

25 Years of Rebuilding Lives:
Celebrating the Victims of Crime Act
April 26–May 2, 2009

Each April since 1981, OVC (Office for Victims of Crime) has helped lead communities throughout the country in their observances of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW). Rallies, candlelight vigils, and a host of commemorative activities are held each year to promote victims' rights and to honor crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.

To commemorate National Victim's Rights Week, there will be a gathering and walk at 2pm on Sunday, April 26th at Volunteer Landing Park. Please join us as we pay tribute to crime victims and recognize the devastating impact of violence on individuals, communities and our nation as a whole.
