Today, on Denim Day, we wear denim with purpose. What someone wears is never consent and never an excuse for sexual violence. We stand with survivors of sexual assault and with the families and loved ones whose lives have been impacted by violence.

Last night, we stood together in light and in love. Our candlelight vigil was a powerful reminder that no one stands alone in their grief, their healing, or their fight for justice. We extend our deepest gratitude to our community partners and our survivors who shared tonight.

We are honored to receive the Service Coordination Award from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. Thank you to U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine and the dedicated Victim Witness Specialist team for our partnership.
