Marsy's Law for All

When someone becomes a victim of crime, they're handed a long list of things they never asked for: fear, grief, court dates, paperwork, uncertainty. What they're too often not handed is a voice. Marsy's Law exists to change that. It guarantees victims the right to be notified about their case, to be present at proceedings, and to be heard when it matters most. Justice should never happen without the victim in the room.

Trauma doesn’t always leave visible scars. For many crime victims and survivors, the effects of trauma continue long after a crime occurs. PTSD can impact a person’s sense of safety, relationships, work, and overall well-being. Recognizing the lasting effects of trauma is an important step toward supporting healing and recovery.

At Marsy’s Law for All, we believe victims deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion throughout the criminal justice process. This month, we stand with survivors, raise awareness about PTSD, and reaffirm our commitment to protecting victims’ rights. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. 💜
