Get Involved

The Modern Crime Victims’ Rights Movement has evolved into “one of the most successful civil liberties movements of recent times.” This success is the result of the tireless efforts of people from all walks of life. There are numerous ways for people to get involved in this movement and stay informed - from financially supporting work on behalf of crime victims to following NCVLI’s bi-monthly publication, the Victims’ Rights Community Update.

What our community members are saying:

NCVLI’s work appeals to me because it represents an interest in criminal cases that often gets overlooked, victims.  As a pro bono attorney at NCVLI, I have been able to work on policy issues that arose out of actual cases and I have gained an even greater understanding of the significance of the law for the individual, as well as society as a whole.

-Sylvia Golden, NAVRA Member and Pro Bono Attorney
