    Since 1981, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) has challenged the Nation to confront and remove barriers to achieve justice for all victims of crime. During NCVRW, we recognize the accomplishments of the victims’ rights movement and reflect on how far we have come.

    Every April, The Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime, leads communities throughout the country in their annual observances of NCVRW. In 2026, we will observe NCVRW, with the theme—

    Listen. Act. Advocate.

    Protect victims, serve communities.

    We have nominated all proceeds will be awarded to McLaren Central Michigan (S.A.N.E.) Program.
