In South Dakota, fairness and dignity apply automatically. Notice, being present, and SAVIN alerts are opt-in. Ask for the Marsy’s Card, then tell the State’s Attorney you want those rights.

South Dakota is putting resources behind victims. In case you missed it, $5M in new funding now supports shelters and crisis services for survivors across the state. When victims have rights and resources, they are better positioned to heal and be heard.
