Illuminate Colorado is drawing attention to National Child Abuse Prevention Month with the help of a growing number of state legislators, featured in a public service announcement released Thursday.

“We can build healthier, safer and thriving communities if we take the same approach to raising families that we do to tending a community garden on a shared piece of land,” Jade Woodard, Illuminate Colorado’s executive director, said in a statement. “Just like a plant is more likely to thrive in a garden with good soil and plenty of sunlight and water, families are more likely to thrive in nurturing communities.”

Gov. Jared Polis spoke at the nonprofit’s kickoff on Facebook Thursday.

“My administration and the Department of Human Services are working hard to create networks of support to strengthen families and make sure kids are safe in this challenging time,” Polis said. 

These are the legislators who have filmed endorsements so far:

• Rep. Judy Amabile, D-Boulder
• Rep. Yadira Caraveo, D-Thornton
• Sen. Don Coram. R-Montrose
• Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora
• Sen. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins
• Rep. Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, D-Denver
• Sen. Chris Hansen, D-Denver
• Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver
• Rep. Colin Larson, R-Littleton
• Sen. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood

Kids and families can do their part with a free “Pinwheel for Prevention” to show support. The nonprofit said it’s already handed out 30,000 pinwheels with 10,000 more to go, with the hope they’ll go up in front yards to help raise awareness and reflect neighborhood support.
