Recognizes April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and designates April 30, 2025, as Colorado Denim Day

Acknowledges the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA), which has advocated for sexual assault survivors and service providers for over four decades and has hosted Colorado Denim Day since 2013

Highlights the 2025 theme "Denim Isn't Always Denim: Believe Survivors, Act Together, Prevent Violence," focusing on increased risks faced by vulnerable communities

Notes the Colorado Bureau of Investigation's sexual assault evidence kit backlog leaves survivors waiting an average of 560 days for results

Directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to Sareen Lambright Dale, Board President of CCASA
