Marsy's Law for Florida Apr 04, 2025
Next week, in recognition of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW), April 6 – 12, Marsy’s Law for Florida is lighting Florida landmarks purple to raise awareness of the importance of crime victims’ rights and to ensure Floridians are aware of the crime victims’ rights and protections available to them under Marsy’s Law for Florida.
Throughout the week, four Florida landmarks will be lit purple – the color associated with crime victims’ rights – in recognition of NCVRW. Lighting up the nights in purple lights will be:
“In 2018, a supermajority of Florida voters voted in favor of enshrining a specific set of clear, enforceable rights for crime victims within our state constitution because they wanted to empower victims as their cases moved through the criminal justice process,” said Jennifer Fennell, Marsy’s Law for Florida spokesperson. “No one asks to be a victim. The rights afforded to crime victims under Marsy’s Law for Florida allows them to have more control over their experience with the court system and helps them on their journey toward healing from the trauma of crime.”
Every April, NCVRW is observed in support of crime victims, while revisiting victims’ rights history, advocating for advancements and celebrating those in our justice system who work in support of these efforts. Marsy’s Law for Florida joins with organizations across the country in observing NCVRW by promoting victims’ rights and honoring crime victims and those who advocate on their behalf.
