Congratulations to this year’s Gail Burns Smith awardees Dr. Alissa Ackerman and Casey Ballinger Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) at #NSAC2024

Everyone deserves to feel supported and comfortable when seeking care. No survivor should ever feel judged or unsafe after experiencing sexual assault 💜 #YouHaveTheRightCO

Sexual violence can have lasting effects on mental and physical health, often leading to depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a higher risk of suicide. Healing is possible with the right resources. It's time for CO to invest in the services that support #TraumaHealing in our community

Everyone deserves the right to support after sexual assault. Sexual violence affects people of all genders. If you or someone you know needs resources, visit youhavetherightco.org. You are not alone, and support is available. #SupportForAll #YouHaveTheRightCO

No one should have their safety or autonomy violated just because they choose to explore nature alone. Every hiker, no matter their path, has the right to enjoy their journey without fear. youhavetherightco.org #YouHaveTheRightCO

This Labor Day, CCASA honors the resilience and dedication of all workers, especially those advocating for the rights and safety of survivors of sexual violence. Your hard work and commitment drive the change we need to create safer communities for everyone #LaborDay

Drastic federal funding cuts will have a devastating impact on Colorado's sexual assault programs, significantly reducing survivors' access to crisis support, legal representation, emergency short-term housing, support groups, and so much more #YesOnPropKK #SaveSurvivorServices
