We sit with survivors in the worst moments of their life. Then we build the public record the institutions that failed them refused to publish.
Your truth is more important than your story.
In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled 7–2 that police have no obligation to enforce a protection order. The case began in Douglas County, Colorado, the night a sheriff's deputy refused to enforce a survivor's protection order against her estranged husband. Her 3 daughters were murdered by their father that night, after law enforcement decided her calls did not require action.
That ruling still stands. In January 2024, Douglas County commissioned a survivor survey, collected responses, and never published the results.
Those voices who were brave enough to tell their survival story...again...were shut down by the institutions put in charge of protecting them.
That's why this matters.
We don't ask survivors
to prove what happened.
We build the record
that proves it for them.
