The resolution recognizes February 24, 2026, as Crime Survivors Speak Alabama Day, honoring the more than 250 crime victims and survivors who will gather at the Alabama State Capitol for the Survivors Speak Alabama 2026 event. Organized by Crime Survivors Speak and Just Safe, this gathering aims to provide a platform for healing, sharing personal stories, and advocating for necessary changes in support of crime survivors. The resolution emphasizes the need for Alabama to invest in programs and trauma recovery centers that assist victims and their families in addressing the trauma and long-term effects of violence.

Additionally, the resolution highlights the systemic gaps in support for crime survivors, noting that a significant percentage do not receive the assistance they need, particularly those whose crimes go unreported. It calls for a justice system that prioritizes prevention, rehabilitation, and trauma recovery, recognizing that survivors have valuable insights to contribute to discussions on public safety and victim services. The resolution commends the efforts of the Crime Survivors Speak Alabama Chapter and related organizations in their mission to support victims, prevent violence, and foster community healing.
