The New Hope City Council has proclaimed April 19–25, 2026, as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, reaffirming the City’s commitment to supporting victims of crime with dignity, respect and compassion.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. The 2026 theme, Building CommUNITY, highlights the importance of connection, collaboration and support in helping victims and survivors heal and access services.
Crime can have lasting impacts on individuals, families and the broader community. The City of New Hope recognizes the vital role victims play in the criminal justice process and the importance of ensuring they feel supported, heard and treated fairly.
The proclamation also acknowledges the work of victim service providers, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, educators and community organizations who work together to provide trauma-informed care and resources. These efforts help victims rebuild their lives and strengthen overall community safety and wellbeing.
New Hope joins communities across Minnesota and the nation in raising awareness and recommitting to ensuring all victims have access to the services and support they need.
