Join us for this 1 hour concert of performances as we bring awareness to domestic violence and support the Colorado-based Non-profit, INITIATIVE.

Founded over 30 years ago, The Initiative (previously known as the Domestic Violence Initiative for Women with Disabilities or DVI) is the only organization in Colorado that focuses our services on the intersection of cross-disability issues and abuse. “Cross-disability” means that we serve people with all kinds of disabilities, including physical, sensory, cognitive, developmental, mental-health, and health-related. Through our advocacy and outreach programs, The Initiative strives to create an abuse-free culture for all.

Join us as Denver area female and non-binary artists come together to support this important cause. Attendance is FREE - donations to INITIATIVE encouraged.
