Senate Concurrent Resolution No. by Senator Cloud designates Monday, April 21, 2025, as Light of Justice and Resilience Day in Louisiana. This day is intended to serve as a statewide opportunity for reflection and support for survivors of religious clergy sexual abuse, acknowledging their experiences of trauma and their ongoing pursuit of justice and healing. The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing the courage of these survivors, who have bravely shared their stories and advocated for institutional reform and accountability.

The designation of this day aligns with the national observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Crime Victims' Rights Week, both of which aim to raise awareness about sexual violence and honor the rights of crime victims.

The state of Louisiana reaffirms its commitment to supporting survivors through survivor-centered policies and programs.
