Lauren's Birthday Fundraiser for CCASA

As a survivor of child sexual abuse, multiple sexual assaults, and the frankly nightmarish experience of going public with my story about powerful people in my home state (Google me 🫠), working for the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) feels like a true privilege.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and I turn 38 on the 12th. I'd be so grateful if you'd consider donating to CCASA for my birthday! 

Despite extreme federal funding cuts and delays that have made it harder and harder to do this work, our team has remained remarkably effective at driving survivor-led legislation forward (our 2026 priority bill to prevent sexual abuse in jails just passed the Colorado House!) and making sure survivors' voices are heard within systems and institutions in our state.

CCASA is pushing our work forward because survivors and their advocates need us. Any amount you can contribute will help us weather this storm.

Thank you for being in our corner!

Love and solidarity,

Lauren

About CCASA

The Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA) is Colorado’s leading voice for sexual violence survivors and the professionals who serve them.

CCASA started in 1984 when rape crisis centers came together to make sure survivors and advocates had a seat at the table for making policy and institutional change. One of our earliest wins was making marital rape a crime in Colorado.

Today, our 100+ members today include survivors, rape crisis centers, victim advocates, and more.

We change laws, improve institutional prevention and response, and give survivors more empowered options for justice and healing. Ultimately, our advocacy prevents harm, promotes healing, and keeps survivors’ lived experiences at the center.
