How do you get involved?
It seems no one really cares for the victims rights. Death row inmates can appeal after 28 years on death row. Reopening everything again for the victim and their family. It is a joke. It is a joke that then Racial Justice Act can allow the inmate on death row to be released. There is no appeal for the victims to get their lives back. It is so sad.

Yesterday, June 13, NCVLI released our monthly e-newsletter acknowledging Pride Month and how it pertains to our work. In so doing, we used incorrect vocabulary and caused harm. We apologize for our terminology mistake and our failure to educate ourselves in advance.
We continue to learn every day and appreciate the feedback that helps each of us and our entire organization grow. We will apply this knowledge moving forward and would, again, like to wish you all a happy Pride Month!
