About CITIZENS AGAINST HOMICIDE

Citizens Against Homicide is a California-based 501(c)(3) public benefit organization that serves families and friends of homicide victims. The majority of its board members are survivors of homicide, and the group provides peer support, advocacy, liaison services with law enforcement and prosecutors, and assistance with parole opposition.

CAH operates regular bi-monthly meetings (in-person and via Zoom), publishes newsletters, organizes fundraising events (notably an annual golf tournament), assists families with parole opposition letters and attendance at hearings, and pursues public awareness projects including a domestic violence documentary. Recent newsletters and event schedules show active operations and fundraising activity through 2024–2026.
