🏛️ PorchLight supports two key bills advancing at the Colorado Capitol that strengthen responses to domestic violence and close critical safety gaps for survivors.

🏛️ House Bill 26-1009 would require standardized lethality assessments during domestic violence calls, helping identify high-risk situations earlier and connect survivors to advocates in real time. Senate Bill 26-085 would improve coordination in cases involving military protection orders, ensuring stronger communication across systems.

These survivor-centered measures reflect what we see every day: informed response, timely screening, and warm connections to advocacy services can save lives.

💜 Love is… believing someone the first time they tell you what happened.
💜 Love is… respecting boundaries without question.
💜 Love is… creating spaces where people feel safe, heard, and never alone.
💜 Love is… understanding that healing takes time, and walking beside someone at their pace.
💜 Love is… choosing kindness, consent, and care every single day.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re honoring the kind of love that protects, uplifts, and makes room for every survivor to feel safe and supported. Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at PorchLight.

They say when you've worked together long enough, you start to dress alike. That was definitely the case over the last week- once purposeful, the other, by chance! Last week found almost 50% of staff feeling lucky in green, while today was a coordinated effort to honor the birthday of our Development and Communications Manager, Brandon, who can usually be found with a carafe of coffee and a sharp button-down.

It truly is the little moments that make PorchLight shine so brightly. 🌞

Human trafficking is often misunderstood, and those misconceptions can prevent people from recognizing it when it’s happening. During Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we’re sharing common myths versus the realities to help build awareness, break down stigma, and empower our community with accurate information.

Trafficking can happen in any community, to people of all ages and backgrounds, and it doesn’t always look like what we see in movies or headlines. The more we understand the realities, the better equipped we are to recognize warning signs, support survivors, and help prevent exploitation.

Awareness is a powerful first step. Learn the facts, challenge the myths, and join us in creating safer communities for everyone.

Thank you to the amazing advocates at the Cultural Development and Wellness Center (Aurora Mental Health & Recovery) - our onsite partner that assists those who have experienced HT, and all the other outstanding programs in the community that light the way out of human trafficking.
