Behind every crime statistic is a crime victim, a person, a family, a community impacted, and too often those voices get lost.
This year's theme, Listen, Act, Advocate, Protect Victims, Serve Communities, is exactly the call to action we need.
Supporting the rights of victims isn't passive.
It requires us to listen, yes, but also to act to sustain investments and services and to ensure coordination among multiple agencies to ensure that our justice system is responsible
and accessible and rooted in dignity.
In San Francisco, we've made commendable progress, including the creation of the Office of Victims and Witness Rights, but we also know there's more work to do, especially for communities that disproportionately face barriers to accessing justice or obtaining needed support.
I'm proud that our city has long centered victims and survivors in our public safety efforts.
Six months ago, you may recall that I eulogized former District Attorney Arlo Smith in this chamber, recognizing him for, among other accomplishments, creating California's first victim services unit in a district attorney's office as far back as the 1980s.
That office and other programs like it have been instrumental to ensure that those harmed by crime in San Francisco have pathways to healing and justice.
And that commitment was underscored even today with the resolution introduced by Supervisors Sherrill and Malgar on sexual assault response and prevention.
Thank you for your leadership on that.
On April 20th, next Monday evening, I'll be joining the SFPD Victims Walk alongside survivors and advocates.
I want to thank Chief Derek Liu and our current District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins, for their leadership in bringing communities together around that.
And I encourage colleagues to join us.
At the end of the day, a safer city isn't solely one that reduces crime rates.
It's one that stands with victims consistently and without exception.
San Francisco can be proud of its long history of doing that.
It's a civic creed worth honoring and recommitting to as we observe National Crime Victims' Rights Week this year.
I hope you'll support it.
In 1999, encouraged by my girlfriends, I took a risk and opened my first store, Brown Eyed Girl.
