VOCAL OUTREACH
The Christmas Magic Party was held on December 7, 2025 at the Embassy Suites in Montgomery, Alabama. Children and their families affected by violent crime were treated to an afternoon of Christmas magic.
This event would not have been possible without the help of our community partners. Leadership Montgomery, Montgomery Police Department, Montgomery City Councilors, Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, Alabama Attorney General's Office, Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, and Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission.
Special thanks to the Embassy Suites and the many volunteers who gave of their time to make this day special.
VOCAL commemorated National Domestic Violence Month with a Ballon Release and program reflecting our advocacy efforts for domestic violence victims.
We were joined by our partners from the Montgomery Police Department and Alabama Crime Victims Compensation Commission.
Domestic violence takes place in our nation every minute of every day, occurring just about every 15 seconds. Most Americans don’t realize just how real domestic violence is and how many lives are affected by it.
The 2025 Voices For Victims 5K was held on June 21, 2025, in Montgomery where the grassroots movement for crime victims' rights began in Alabama. Participants started the race on Washington Avenue in front of the Alabama State Capital and followed Dexter Avenue to the River Walk and historic Montgomery ending at the Avenue of Flags.
The participants this year had the opportunity to wear a pin featuring a picture of a victim lost to violent crime. They were a Voice For Victims.
