In 2007, Congress designated September 25th as the National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims in the United States.
The annual National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims gives us all the opportunity to remember those lost to homicide, and honor their memories. The purpose of this event is to focus on the impact of murder on families, and communities, and ways to support and serve survivors.
The National Day of Remembrance is an important day, and we within the Drug Induced Homicide Organization are committed to remembering and honoring the victims of homicide every day of the year, especially their families as they struggle with the enormity and finality of losing a loved one.
On this day please consider
- Lighting a candle in memory of a homicide victim.
- Organizing or attending a community event to honor victims of homicide.
- Calling or visiting a friend or family member who has lost a loved one to homicide.
- Making a donation in memory of a homicide victim.
