Disabled Crime Victims Assistance, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible. Host/Hostess ____________________________ Disabled Crime Victims Assistance, Inc. Guest Names (if available) Our History DCVA was founded by Wanda, Elizabeth, and John Page in 1999. Elizabeth was a victim of a crime in 1988 and was paralyzed from the chest down as a result. As they began the long journey of recovery, they realized that they were not the only family that faced a tragedy of this magnitude thus Disabled Crime Victims Assistance, Inc. was formed. Our Mission Disabled Crime Victims Assistance, Inc. is committed to assisting disabled crime victims and their families, as well as promoting awareness of their specialized needs to those who serve victims and the community. Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters of DCVA, It’s hard to imagine that it has been 25 years since I was shot and paralyzed. My life changed so much that day, just 10 days after graduating from college and working as a Social Worker to fighting for my life. It continues to be a long journey for me and my family with challenges that I still face daily. My family has had to deal with so much heartache due to me being a crime victim. But I never dreamt of where God would lead me and my family. I want to share with you a couple things. First, within seconds after being shot, God gave me the Peace that I would be okay despite the severity of my injuries. Second, when I was told that I was paralyzed, I told my mom, “God has a plan, and I am ready”. When you know that God has saved you and He gives you the strength to face such an adversity, you know there is something you need to give back which brings me to Disabled Crime Victims Assistance, Inc. I cannot take credit for the idea to start DCVA. God gave Mom the idea to start DCVA, but I feel honored that God has given us this Mission to reach out to disabled crime victims and their families. Thank you for honoring DCVA on this 25th year anniversary of my survival..

A 12- Drama man jury is sent to begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old Latino accused in the stabbing death of his father - where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming - saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote. At first Mr. Davis' bases his vote more so for the sake of discussion after all - the jurors must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. As the deliberations unfold - the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities (which range from wise - bright 1928 Shot of Seattle Large black and white photograph printed on Paramount Theater 1928 792.09 Photograph Theatre During stretched canvas.

  • Critical Discourse Analysis on “We Are the World 25 for Haiti” Song Lyrics
    Journal of English Education and Teaching (JEET) e-ISSN: 2622-5867 p-ISSN: 2685-743x Volume 4 number 1, March 2020 Page 36-48 Critical Discourse Analysis on “We are the World 25 for Haiti” Song Lyrics Herman University of HKBP Nommensen [email protected] Dumaris E. Silalahi University of HKBP Nommensen [email protected] Abstract This research aims at analyzing a song entitled “We are the World 25 for Haiti”. This song was first introduced by Michael Jackson in 1985 named “We are the World 1985” when he made collaboration with other musicians for USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa). The single was intended as a charity single to raise funds for famine relief efforts in Ethiopia who have suffered political instability and disaster drought in 1984-1985. Then, this song was chosen to be used for collecting funds in rehabilitating Haiti after the enormous earthquake. As we know that every song is composed with background and meaning written as lyrics. This paper is focused to investigate the song lyrics based on the composer‟s attitudes, the social relation among the participants, the context of the situation, and the power relation in the discourse. Theories used in this research were based on Van Dijk (2004), and Martin and Rose (2013). The lyrics are taken as the object of the research. The data were initially analyzed based on Martin and Rose (2003). The findings showed that all types of attitude were found; they were expressing feelings, judging people‟s character, and appreciating things. But one part of judging people‟s character was not found in the song lyrics.
