Jacksonville FL — This Monday the City of Jacksonville will kick off a weeklong list of events to honor and help victims of crime. This is part of the National Crime Victims’ Rights week that’s being held through Saturday, April 30th. We’re told the observance is to bring awareness of the struggles victims have and to highlight ways that they can get help.
Some of the events set for the week of April 25th, put on by the Mayor’s Victim Assistance Advisory Council include workshops on Tuesday at the downtown library on how the court system is now compared to before COVID and a workshop on hearing and elevating the voices of younger people. Also on Tuesday at the library in downtown is the National Crime Victims’ Rights Week Awards Luncheon.
The events for the week get going Monday morning at 11 AM with a news conference with local leaders.
