A Message From The Founder,
Ellen Griffin Dunne

"The scales of justice have gradually become weighted in the favor of the accused, leaving the victim with no rights or representation.

We must re-establish the idea that homicide is the ultimate offence against humanity. Its punishment must reflect the gravity of the crime.

Fortunately, the majority of our membership has not had to suffer the personal effects of a homicide in their family but they support our goals.

We seek to educate the public as to the injustices in the present system of criminal justice in California. Only when the people are aware of the facts can change and reform be accomplished."
