As we head into the weekend, here’s your Friday reminder: victims of crime have rights!

Navigating the criminal justice system can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate your rights alone. Ohio law provides crime victims with important rights throughout the criminal justice process, including rights related to information, participation, privacy, safety, and fairness.

At Ohio Crime Victim Justice Center, we believe that understanding your rights is an important step toward being able to exercise them. 💙

Know your rights. Your voice deserves to be heard. Support is available.

🎂🍰What a fantastic way to get our kids in the community to tap into their creative side! Our local fair is a great way to show up for the children of this community as many 4H kids have animals and projects showcased at the fair. Please show up and support our county fair!

📢Our office will be there again this year in the Arts Building and those rocks that your kids and grandkids were on the hunt for last year will be hiding again. So be sure to come out with the kids and let them get creative and then go help them search for those rocks and return it to our booth for their prize 🧐

Whether you are in long-term recovery, currently struggling, supporting a loved one, or remembering someone special, YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS!

We will be attending this event today and ask that you share this and spread the word. It's important to honor those that have lost the battle and to uplift every single person on the path to recovery.

Many participants from our local Drug Courts will be in attendance. Recovery takes a village-let's show up in numbers, wrap our arms around them, and prove that Hocking County fully supports their hard work and dedication to change!
