This April, we've been reminded that sexual violence touches every corner of our community. 1 in 3 Coloradans have experienced sexually violent crimes. 𝐈𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰.

Showing up for survivors means believing them. Supporting them. Creating systems that protect, rather than question them. It means challenging the silence and stigma that allow harm to continue.

Tomorrow, on April 29th, you have two powerful ways to show up:

👖 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐦 as a visible protest against misconceptions surrounding sexual assault and 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 $𝟓 to support local survivors

🎬 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝟔𝐩𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 "𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲" 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫—a film about courage, solidarity, and demanding justice

Raise Awareness tomorrow by joining the Denim Day Movement and use your voice to support survivors of sexual violence.
