The Louisiana Legislature has passed a resolution designating April 21, 2025, as "Light of Justice and Resilience Day." This day aims to honor and support survivors of sexual abuse by clergy, recognizing their resilience and ongoing pursuit of justice and healing. The resolution highlights the profound trauma and betrayal experienced by these survivors, many of whom have bravely shared their stories to advocate for change within institutions and society. The timing of this designation coincides with National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Crime Victims' Rights Week, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about sexual violence and supporting victims.

The resolution serves as a call to action for communities across Louisiana to stand in solidarity with survivors, promoting education, remembrance, and advocacy for survivor rights. It underscores the state's commitment to addressing the impacts of trauma and ensuring justice through survivor-centered policies and programs. Additionally, a copy of the resolution will be sent to TentMakers of Louisiana, acknowledging their advocacy efforts for survivors and their role in promoting healing and justice.
