Justice for Murder Victims is a service of VOCAL (the Catina Rose Victims of
Crime Assistance League) Foundation, an IRS recognized non-profit foundation. It is
action-oriented. First incorporated in 1985 to serve victims of homicide, it became
a foundation in 1995 to serve all crime victims.
Harriet Salarno founded
Justice for Murder Victims in 1979 after the murder of her daughter Catina. Harriet
organized the group with three premises in mind: to help survivors cope with the
tremendous grief, ensure that the rights of victims are not ignored within the judicial
system and to bring about change that would make a balanced justice system. Justice
for Murder Victims is affiliated with VOCAL: the Catina Rose Victims of Crime Assistance
League. This organization is dedicated to serving all victims of crime, both
juvenile and adult. To this end, VOCAL and Justice for Murder Victims have been
helping victims and raising the public's awareness for the past nineteen years.
Our Purpose:
Our purpose is to respond to
the needs of victims and their families by working within the system to ensure that
current law is enforced and to promote new legislation that will bring added protection to
everyone. We assist victims of crime regardless of race, creed or color. Meetings are held
on the first Wednesday of each month (except August) in San Francisco.
