As part of National Gun Violence Awareness Day and wear orange weekend, Homicide Survivors hosted a photo session and workshop to honor the lives taken by firearms. As well as the survivors whose lives are forever impacted by gun violence in our community. To help protect loved ones and save lives, homicide survivors also provided free gun locks.
During our workshop, survivors shared precious memories about their loved ones and crafted items in their memory.

Every April, the Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) helps lead communities nationwide in their annual observances of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) by promoting victims’ rights and honoring crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.
We invite you to join us from April 21-27, where Homicide Survivors will host events empowering survivors through workshops, survivors’ stories on hope, and our Annual Candlelight Vigil.
Every year, families in our community are shattered by the loss of a loved one to homicide. Please consider joining us this Arizona Gives Day and donating to our cause. Your contribution will ensure we continue to provide services to Survivors, such as advocacy, support and assistance.
