Marsy's Law for All

Trauma doesn’t always leave visible scars. For many crime victims and survivors, the effects of trauma continue long after a crime occurs. PTSD can impact a person’s sense of safety, relationships, work, and overall well-being. Recognizing the lasting effects of trauma is an important step toward supporting healing and recovery.

At Marsy’s Law for All, we believe victims deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion throughout the criminal justice process. This month, we stand with survivors, raise awareness about PTSD, and reaffirm our commitment to protecting victims’ rights. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. 💜
