@SLCoEmerMngt Public notifications shouldn’t be that hard. That was very scary.

[Erin Jemison @ErinJems]

@tvheidihatch Yes. Trying to figure out what it is. Shaking our whole house - just had 8th one.

@jackson1murphy Also this podcast is amazing - https://t.co/wk6S41ckEG

@jackson1murphy Maybe in the country!

@LindsayOnAir @SpencerJCox Zing! 😆

@jayacunzo Also if you don’t have kids for various reasons, changing the way it’s talked about in culture would be nice. All I hear is “I never really know joy or fulfillment before” or “this kid is my whole world & I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Message that sends is hard for us too.

@Clancy4Utah Yeah I bet you “get” to be a zennial. I get to be officially Gen X but very close to millennial. Not sure what cool name we have. Xennial?? 😆

…there’s a lot of worry & heartache w/these funding decisions. They planned & budgeted for decreasing fed funds. But news of even deeper cuts came from the state yesterday. Shelters are the most resource-intensive services. They need to be there for highest risk victims. #utleg

[Erin Jemison @ErinJems]

Utah DV service providers are some of the most dedicated, resilient professionals I’ve had the privilege to know and work with. They’re committed to lethality assessment expansion & will do what it takes to help every victim. They know and have seen it it save lives. But/and… 🧵

[Kyle Dunphey @kyle_dunphey]

SB117 takes effect on July 1, directing all Utah police to conduct lethality assessments when responding to intimate partner violence. That same day, service providers in Utah will start working with a much smaller budget.

Even though service providers were awarded funds during the last legislative session, these dollars will not cover funding losses. @LGHendersonUtah #utpol #SB117 #utleg

Our visit to CAPSA in Logan!

[Utah Domestic Violence Coalition @UtahDv]

We appreciate being part of this conversation, and for some much-needed updated info on #domesticviolence in Utah. Thank you @UTWomenLeaders for your incredible work for our state! @ErinJems #utpol #utleg

[Doug Wilks @DWilksnews]

This story is important. Painful, but important.

[Utah Domestic Violence Coalition @UtahDv]

Thank you @kyle_dunphey and @Deseret for using these recordings to give in-depth look at abusive behavior with DV experts. People ask what we should do about abuse in Utah? Understand dynamics, listen & believe victims when they come to you, find an advocate to help safety plan.

[Deidre Henderson @DeidreHenderson]

"We start by believing victims, and we safety plan for everything. If somebody says something is happening, you safety plan for it.”

I’ve been to my fair share of DC “days on the hill.” Never have I gotten to meet w/more than one actual member. Most times it’s none. Love staffers - they know their stuff & do a lot of the policy work - but nice that 3 of 6 UT Congressmen talked w/us directly this time. #utpol

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

All people deserve to feel safe from sexual and domestic violence in their homes and communities. Thank you to the representatives from @UCASAorg and @UtahDv for meeting with me to discuss ways to better support victims of rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence.

@jackson1murphy @jen_jenc Oh…does she ever! 😂 🚂
