Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month (observed November 20-December 20) is a month-long effort to educate the public and policymakers about the impact of homicide on families and communities and recognize the diverse contributions of the Survivor’s movement. Throughout the months of November & December, Homicide Survivors is amplifying Survivor’s voices through the #StopTheViolence.
Every 32.1 minutes, someone is murdered in the United States.*
In Arizona, a murder occurs approximately every 27 hours.*
With national homicide rates on the rise in 2021, support for families impacted by violence and awareness of the impact of homicide in our communities is needed now more than ever.
Join us in this movement and take the pledge. View the #StopTheViolence Campaign Toolkit for more information and sample social media posts. Tag us and three friends to join you in the #StopTheViolence Campaign. Join us on Tuesday, November 30, 2021 for Giving Tuesday and help make an impact in your community by making a donation.

Every April, the Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) helps lead communities nationwide in their annual observances of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) by promoting victims’ rights and honoring crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.
We invite you to join us from April 21-27, where Homicide Survivors will host events empowering survivors through workshops, survivors’ stories on hope, and our Annual Candlelight Vigil.
Every year, families in our community are shattered by the loss of a loved one to homicide. Please consider joining us this Arizona Gives Day and donating to our cause. Your contribution will ensure we continue to provide services to Survivors, such as advocacy, support and assistance.
