Did you know that 1 in 15 children are exposed to intimate partner violence each year? Children who are witness to abuse face an elevated risk of perpetuating this cycle into adulthood, either by entering into abusive relationships, or becoming abusers themselves. Through our child specific programming, we strive to create a secure, caring and community-oriented environment specifically for kids, providing the building blocks for children to be safe and develop into healthy, non-violent individuals.

Have you received your November ballot? Please VOTE YES on Prop KK! What is Prop KK? Prop KK is a statewide ballot measure to enact a modest 6.5% excise tax on gun and ammunition manufacturers and retailers (akin to taxes on tobacco), generating $39 million each year to: ● Sustain vital support services for victims of domestic violence and other violent crimes, including safe housing, legal assistance, counseling ● Expand mental health services for veterans and at-risk youth ● Enhance school safety and violence prevention Why does this matter? ● Federal funding for victim support services has been slashed 75% since 2018 while at the same time, the need has increased and the number of domestic violence homicides in our state is at an all-time high, with 86% of those deaths caused by guns. ● Meanwhile, Colorado is facing a mental health crisis and our most vulnerable are paying the price. Suicide is the leading cause of death for young people, and veterans are suffering at rates twice the national average. Please share this post and encourage people to VOTE YES to ensure the most vulnerable aren't left without a safety net. For more information on this critical ballot measure, please visit www.yesonpropkk.com! #yesonpropkk #DVAM2024

Our October newsletter is out! Check out all the latest happenings here: https://lnkd.in/gdCNznt4

We were blown away by the generosity of sponsors and attendees this year’s Cork for a Cause. Together, you raised more than $85,000 to support our critical programming including Emergency and Extended Stay Shelter; 24/7 Crisis Hotline; Counseling for adults and children; Housing Navigation, and Court Advocacy. It was an incredible, action packed evening: Dr. Anne DePrince delivered an exceptional keynote address, we heard about Gateway's impact through survivors, past staff and community members, and celebrated 45 years of providing life saving programming in the community. We appreciate everyone who contributed in some way to this tremendous event! A special thank you to our generous sponsors listed below, Heritage Wine & Liquors for sponsoring the wine tasting and our fantastic photographer, Quincy Malik for capturing the evening. We can't wait for 2025!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month! We're excited to join other organizations and individuals to raise awareness and uplift the needs, voices and experience of survivors. This year's theme is Heal, Hold & Center. We're committed to working together to embrace diverse paths to healing from violence + oppression, commit to holding space for survivors, and center those most marginalized in all of our efforts to end DV.
