Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month - April 2025
Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month focuses on enhancing public understanding of sexual violence, amplifying the voices of survivors, and empowering us to work together to promote the safety and well-being of others.
Everyone in our communities deserves to live in safe and supportive environments where they are treated with respect. When our workplaces, schools, and communities work together to uphold safety and respect, we make progress in preventing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.
The 2025 theme "Together We Act, United We Change" highlights the importance of working together to uphold safety, ensure respect for all people, and making progress in preventing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.
Thank you to our 2025 SAAPM Partners! Check back April 1st to learn more about how these leaders will support survivors

2025 RISE Survivor Art Show
2025 RISE artist submission now open! Artist submission form open from October 1, 2024 through February 1, 2025.
Since its inception in 2022, RISE has become more than an event; it is a cornerstone of our community's commitment to fostering awareness and support. Through vibrant artworks and powerful expressions, RISE creates a sacred platform for survivors to reclaim their narratives and shatter the pervasive silence surrounding sexual violence.
We are introducing a gala for our 2025 exhibition! More details to come.
Change on Tap - November 2024
We need to change the conversation around alcohol and sexual violence.
Studies estimate that between 50% and 77% of sexual assaults involve alcohol consumption by either the victim or offender and many times by both.
In the state of Colorado, 1 in 2 women, 1 in 2 trans/nonbinary individuals, and 1 in 3 men experience sexual violence in their lifetime.
The Blue Bench started Change on Tap to challenge the status quo and educate local alcohol-serving establishments to be better prepared to stop sexual assault.
This is the time for our community to join together to eliminate sexual assault.
