@HOPEWorks73 annual #TakeBackTheNight2018 on Thurs. 4/26 is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our resilience and connect deeply with others who understand; for allies and supporters, a wonderful chance to hear others' stories! https://t.co/kQLy9rbDgq https://t.co/onW60wBBq6

An unusual case of vehicle vandalism from Colorado offered as a lighthearted counterpoint to other crime news. (Also, a reminder that comprehensive insurance coverage would help in a situation like this...) https://t.co/gW0HYdh4E1

Spotted today in Battery Park: the yellow hot dog bus of spring.

Talking with other victim service providers at a forum hosted by @TheJusticeDept and @usao_vt about sexual harassment and housing in VT seemed so fitting during #NCVRW and on the day #FairHousingis50 no less! Was gratified to hear that process helps give victims back a voice!

[Parallel Justice BTV @PJBurlington]

Just in time for #NCVRW, this @nytimes article reminds us that the rights and protections we want victims to have (and that seem common sense) are far from assured https://t.co/nSXKIIAKpX

Our eagle eyed victim advocate @ BPD found this list of @ConsumerReports recommended door locks. In #BTV burglary is often a crime of opportunity-make it harder for would-be thieves to get in by considering updating installing one of these: https://t.co/RgStFaZsh3 #lockitorloseit

Welcome BPD's newly minted Officer Montalvo and Officer LaCouture! https://t.co/Vr5YMxD8MY

[Church Street @ChurchStreet]

Spring is here and we are excited to welcome new officers from @onenorthavenue to Church Street! You’ll see Officer Victor Montalvo and Officer Deidre LaCouture on foot patrols in the downtown for the Spring/Summer season. #BTV

[Parallel Justice BTV @PJBurlington]

Hello, NH neighbors! One of @ParallelJustice's core principles is that victims rights are implemented and enforced, and a second one is that they be heard. Thanks to @caracookson for pointing out the important work happening right across the Connecticut River! #NCVRW2018 https://t.co/F8iaHD55gl

If a New Hampshire amendment is approved, it would give crime victims the right to be notified of when the accused is released on bail and the right to be heard at sentencing hearings. https://t.co/BaP28bsMkU

[Parallel Justice BTV @PJBurlington]

We may think we know how to help and what others need and want, but the one and only way to do that effectively is to #AskAndListen, per @NPRinvisibilia https://t.co/44sCk4zp2G

[Parallel Justice BTV @PJBurlington]

"Victims are members of society whose problems represent the memory of suffering, rage, and pain in a world that longs to forget.” Wowch.

So proud of all the women we work with @OneNorthAvenue - Truly #burlingtonsfinest! https://t.co/fFFo8X3xwL

[Burlington Police @OneNorthAvenue]

Every woman who protects and serves is a wonder woman. #womanshistorymonth #burlingtonsfinest #btv

[Parallel Justice BTV @PJBurlington]

Great discussion on @vermontedition about a bill to protect victims of sexual harassment in #Vermont, by prohibiting some kinds of nondisclosure agreements and mandatory arbitration (which can protect serial offenders and silence victims). https://t.co/TMNhEOfPWA
