CCASA believes survivors. Your voices make movements for justice stronger. And as ValorUS said in their statement that CCASA has signed onto, “Sexual violence is not an anomaly. It is systemic. No movement, no sector, no leader is immune.” www.valor.us/pressrelease...

“I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for. [...] My silence ends here.” (Dolores Huerta, 3/18/26)

The bill has passed unanimously through the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate floor, a powerful testament to the impact of survivors’ lived experience. SB095 now moves to the Colorado House for further consideration. Thanks again to Sen. Weissman for championing this important policy!

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

🎉 CCASA was proud to testify in support of S095 Monday alongside survivors of sexual and domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking, and cybercrime and our partners, AG @philweiser.bsky.social, Rocky Mountain Victim Law Center, CO Organization for Victim Assistance, and Violence Free CO.

This is unacceptable. Survivors deserve respect and care from the people they turn to for help. CCASA continues to push for improving the system response to survivors through our trainings, advocacy, and policy work. But law enforcement and prosecutors must do better for survivors & public safety.

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

CCASA is proud to champion this essential bill, which was informed by survivors’ experiences, feedback, and advocacy. Stay tuned for the outcome of SB26-095's Senate Judiciary hearing on Monday, March 2!

000

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

🚓 Choosing to report is already difficult enough for survivors. SB095 requires law enforcement to take additional training to enhance their understanding of the impact of trauma to improve response and investigations.

100

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

⚖️ Survivors deserve to choose how they engage in their court case. SB095 extends the option for remote testimony to all survivors (currently allowed only for child sexual assault cases).

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

SB095 supports survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking, & human trafficking: ⚕️Survivors shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get info about their assault. SB095 requires health professionals who conduct medical forensic exams to tell survivors when/how to get results & records.

Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) @ccasacolorado.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

SB26-095, Measures to Support Victim-Survivors of Crimes, takes a significant step toward improving survivors’ experiences within medical, legal, and judicial systems. Thank you Sen. Weissman, @repfroe.bsky.social, and Rep. Willford for listening to survivors’ voices and spearheading this bill!

Whether you choose to speak out or heal in private, you don’t owe anyone your story. Just being here is enough. But speaking out is what survivors of Jeffrey Epstein are doing right now to make sure that all our communities are safer in the future.

DOJ failed to redact confidential info and photos of survivors in the most recent release of docs related to Epstein’s abuses. Our hearts are with all survivors—whether you're directly impacted by this retraumatizing violation of trust, or you’re having a hard time as you witness what’s happening.
