It is that time of year, when communities in Colorado and across the country are readying to elect future leaders. At Safe Passage, we work hard to introduce ourselves to every candidate, and remind incumbents that the work we do is life changing, and shapes our city and state for the long term. Thank you to Victor Marx for stopping by Safe Passage to tour the CAC and meet partner agencies. When it comes to child safety, we are all in this together.
