BACKGROUND:
The National Campaign for Victims' Rights led to President Ronald Reagan's reforms on behalf of crime victims, his
declaration of the first National Crime Victims' Rights Week, and victims' rights legislation and victim services.
Advocates nationwide have joined the U.S. Department of Justice to produce the Vision 21 initiative to advance
effectiveness of this work. National Crime Victims' Rights Week offers an opportunity to renew and strengthen our
partnerships and teamwork, and to highlight the collaborative approaches that are integral to the U.S. Department of
Justice's Vision 21 initiative. Through partnerships, organizations can mobilize their experience, skills, resources, and
stakeholders to help plan a powerful NCVRW strategy.
In commemoration of National Crime Victims' Rights Week the District Attorney's Office will host on Friday, April
11, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Community Room located at 900 Ward Street, Martinez, a special ceremony
to recognize the following Victim Assistance Program Volunteers: Amy Gallagher, Orlando Ortiz, Audrey Keegan
and Marilyn Richards; and the following Award Winners:
