Show Notes
The Blue Bench, Denvers leading sexual assault prevention and survivor support group, faces a 45% budget cut, losing $500,000 in federal funding. This reduction, part of the Trump administrations $700 million nationwide cut to crime victim services, threatens their free counseling, 24-hour hotline, and case management. With demand surging, especially due to media-stirred trauma, the Blue Bench launches a fundraising drive, A Longer Bench, to maintain services and support survivors.
