We continue to speak words that demonstrate our ‘commitment’ to survivors of abuse and assault. But funding cuts tell another story.

Imagine a world where an internet service provider like GCI gets to decide which voices and opinions aren’t heard, and which ones get amplified.

After listening to the ongoing debate regarding Ballot Measure 2, which would require parental notification when a pregnant teenager seeks an abortion, I feel compelled to share what I learned from the teenagers who I once represented within the child protection and juvenile delinquency systems. I vigorously oppose Measure 2, as it would put many of our teenage girls' lives at risk and does nothing to enhance their safety or protect their wellbeing.
