April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month. As your next District Attorney, I'm deeply committed to raising awareness about sexual assault every day, but Sexual Assault Awareness Month provides a crucial opportunity to amplify our efforts. It's a time to educate, advocate, and support survivors while working to dismantle systems that perpetuate sexual violence and hold offenders accountable. Sadly, it's likely that each of us knows someone who has been impacted by sexual violence; yet, it is one of the most underreported crimes. Every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and supported. Let's break the silence, dismantle the stigma, and empower survivors to seek justice and healing. Let's all take action by supporting local organizations like the SAVA - Sexual Assault Victim Advocate Center and ChildSafe that provide critical services to survivors. Whether it's volunteering, donating, or spreading awareness, every effort makes a difference in the journey towards healing and justice. Together, let's create a community where sexual assault is not tolerated, where consent is respected, and where every individual feels safe and valued. 🩵 #SAAM #SupportSurvivors #EndSexualViolence

Every child is a masterpiece, precious to Jesus, and worthy of love, justice, and healing. At Kids Alive, we believe we are the artwork of God, created to do marvelous works that He prepares us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Kids Alive walks with victims of sexual violence to seek justice and healing. When a child suffers sexual abuse and trauma, their self-worth is significantly impacted. We employ a team of professionals - from trauma-informed staff to social workers, lawyers, and psychologists - all dedicated to pursuing justice for long-term healing. Our aim isn’t simply to punish the perpetrators; Rather, we accompany the victims through their journey, nurturing healing every step of the way. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and we invite you to join together with Kids Alive as we stand with victims of sexual abuse and trauma. Together, we can make a difference, fighting for the rights and needs of vulnerable children around the world. #abuseawareness #abuseawarenessmonth #assaultawareness #assaultawareness #SAAM #socialwork #socialimpact #childrencharity #nonprofit #KidsAlive

Juvenile crime is on the rise in Phoenix, and it's a crisis that demands our immediate attention. According to the 2024 Crime Reduction Plan, there was a significant increase in violent crimes committed by juveniles in 2023. These trends are alarming, but we have the power to make a difference.
