Each April, since 1981, the Federal Office of Victims of Crime (OVC),a Division of the Department of Justice, leads an annual observance of National Crime Victims Rights Week by promoting victims' rights, honoring crime victims and those who serve and advocate on their behalf.
The theme for this 26th year of observance is “Crime Victims' Rights: Fairness. Dignity. Respect.” The theme reminds us of the great strides we have made in giving victims a voice and the progress made in making sure that victims get fairness, dignity and respect.
The OVC launched National Crime Victims Rights Week in Washington, D.C. with it's annual National Candlelight Observance Ceremony on April 15, 2010. On April 20, 2010, from 11:00am to 2:00pm, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office honored crime victims and the organizations who support and advocate on their behalf at an event held at the County Government Center in San Jose, California.
Because of Knock Out Dog Fighting's tireless work at stopping cruelty and abuse, our advocacy work and support of victims of violent crime - both human and animal, we were asked to be a part of the celebration to discuss our successful programs that address at-risk youth, domestic violence and animal cruelty.
Knock Out Dog Fighting members in attendance were Kris Crawford & her pit bull Tahoe, UFC Welterweight Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, NPC Figure Champion Mona Liza "MO" Reyes, Kickboxing Champion Jose "La Bamba" Palacios, Vincit Magazine Editor-in-Chief and martial artist Sharon Sanghera, and Josie Macias.
