💙 This comes at a tough time for survivors and the people who serve them.

Stories about sexual violence have been in the local and national media spotlight, from Colorado’s La Plata County Jail to the halls of Congress. This has been a lot for many survivors to take in.

At the same time, organizations that provide services for survivors are facing an extremely challenging financial landscape.

The federal government has drastically reduced funding in the last several years, and their current funding delays are so extreme that many organizations that serve survivors are having to cut services, layoff staff, and even shutter their doors.

To survivors and advocates: this is a reminder to keep taking care of ourselves and each other as we live through this period of incredible strain.

To the broader community: this is a call to show up for survivors and service providers. There are many ways to help.
