Public Policy Program
Violence Free Colorado plays a critical role in the passage and implementation of state and federal legislation that impacts domestic violence survivors, educates our membership about the policy process, and helps connect members and survivors with their legislators.
We provide input on court rules and state agency policies related to survivors and domestic violence programs.
Our team actively engages in taskforces, committees, and workgroups that address issues that are related to Intimate partner violence survivors and their wellbeing.
