Dear Supporters, We have reached an important milestone in our continued fight for victim-centered justice — the Vincent Anthony Act now has a Senate bill number: SB 679. This progress is possible because of your support, your signatures, and your willingness to stand beside victims and families seeking meaningful reform. But our work is not finished — this is the moment to mobilize. We are inviting supporters to step forward and testify in support of the Vincent Anthony Act and help ensure that victims are not silenced in the justice process. 📩 If you are willing to testify or submit written testimony, please email: Divine@ByDivineDesign.me Your voice can help lawmakers understand the human impact of violence and why reform must remain balanced and compassionate. ⸻ How the Vincent Anthony Act Helps If enacted, the Vincent Anthony Act will: • Ensure victims and survivors have meaningful participation in post-conviction review proceedings • Uphold protections guaranteed under Article 47 of the Maryland Constitution — dignity, respect, and sensitivity • Protect families of homicide victims from being minimized or retraumatized • Require courts to weigh the permanence of loss when considering sentence modification • Restore balance so justice reform reflects both rehabilitation and accountability Because the truth remains: Loss is permanent — justice must reflect that permanence. ⸻ We Will Not Be Silent The JUST WHY Movement was never meant to be temporary. It was built to demand change — for Vincent, for families across Maryland, and for every life taken by violence. We will not be silent in the face of violence. We will continue to speak. We will continue to advocate. We will continue to demand accountability. Please continue to share this petition and consider adding your voice through testimony. Lives over loopholes. No loved one left behind. With gratitude and determination, Divina Fisher Founder, The JUST WHY Movement 👉 Please continue to sign and share.
