I was elected to the Board of Directors of The Blue Bench in March of 2024. Throughout my career, working in higher education and in support capacities for persons with disabilities, I have come to know the prevalence and impact sexual violence has on individuals and our communities. Two years ago, while teaching a class at Metropolitan State University of Denver, I had the privilege of teaching an undergraduate student who worked for The Blue Bench. She inspired me to become involved.
I am a firm believer that we are all better off when we come together to support one another. The sad truth is that Victims of Crime Act funding is being cut by the Federal Government by 40% starting in 2025. As a result, civic engagement and support is particularly imperative at this time.
I respectfully request that you join me this holiday season in supporting people in their greatest time of need. By doing so, you will be providing the compassionate care survivors of sexual violence need, and in so doing, strengthening our communities.
With sincerest gratitude,
Dave Thomas, PhD
