VOCAL (Victims of Crime and Leniency) is a dedicated advocacy group that has been supporting crime victims and their rights for over four decades. Founded by the Shehane family, who tragically lost their daughter Quenette, VOCAL works tirelessly to ensure that victims receive the support and justice they deserve. With a focus on raising awareness and advocating for crime victim-related legislation, VOCAL provides resources, assistance, and lodging for crime victims attending parole hearings. They also organize events like the Voices For Victims 5K to raise funds for their continued advocacy efforts.
VOCAL stands apart from other organizations by prioritizing the voices and needs of crime victims in Alabama. They actively work to maintain the progress made in victims' rights over the years and counterbalance the focus on convicted felons in the criminal justice system. Through their legislative initiatives, support services, and community events, VOCAL aims to empower crime victims and ensure their experiences are heard and acknowledged by lawmakers and the public.
