Presenters from local victim-service organizations outlined events and services tied to the proclamation and described recent demand for services. Alta (title given as Director of Community Engagement) said the agency doubled shelter capacity through a new shelter expansion and highlighted several April events, including a Clothesline Project, a multi-county \"stretch for survivors\" on April 6, a \"Shop for Survivors\" drive on April 12 and a Take Back the Night rally on April 22.

Dr. Chelle Fijo, identified as Director of Sexual Assault Services, gave statistics and a brief performance summary: \"So 1 in 5 women are victims of sexual assault with a physical component. 1 in 33 men are... and then 1 in 7 in the queer community.\" She said in the first quarter since a merge the organization responded to 58 sexual-assault victims and provided 607 services, including mobile advocacy, accompaniment to forensic exams, assistance with legal processes and ongoing support groups. Chelle said the agency will offer five biweekly support groups across five counties beginning in April.

During questions from supervisors, presenters said the new Terry Fortman shelter has been full for about six weeks; the facility was described as having 70 beds, with roughly half occupied by children at typical points in time.

Vice Chair V. Fixmerize moved approval of the proclamation; Supervisor Remington seconded. The board approved the proclamation by roll call vote. Presenters invited supervisors and community members to the month’s events and asked for donations for \"go bags\" used when advocates meet victims at hospitals.

The proclamation and presentation highlighted service demand and community outreach plans; supervisors thanked staff and volunteers and noted the county’s continued partnership with victim-service organizations.","The Johnson County Board of Supervisors proclaimed April 2025 Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

The proclamation, read during the supervisors' meeting, says the county supports raising awareness of issues affecting transgender, gender-nonconforming and nonbinary residents and urged policies that protect their rights and well-being. Vice Chair V. Fixmerize moved approval; Supervisor Remington seconded the motion, and the board approved the proclamation by roll call vote.

The action drew members of the county's transgender community to the podium. Dr. Amadani, introduced themselves as a community resource navigator for the LGBT archive and an advocate and journalist, thanked the board and warned that state and federal policies are targeting transgender people. \"We are having to deal ... with a government and a society that's fundamentally cis supremacist,\" Dr. Amadani said. \"Your lives are not equal to cisgender people.\" They urged continued local support for protections and for public education to reduce ignorance about transgender people.

An unnamed elected official who identified themself as openly transgender also addressed the board, saying visibility can make people targets but remains important for community recognition and resilience. Members of the Trans Advisory Committee and other community volunteers thanked the supervisors for support and noted a slate of visibility events scheduled in Johnson County through the coming days.

The board's proclamation was symbolic; supervisors and presenters framed it as a show of county support amid ongoing state and national policy debates. Community organizers invited residents to a series of events, including educational sessions and a rally that they said would take place over the coming days.

The board adjourned after routine business; supervisors noted the county will continue to host and support advisory committees and community events related to the proclamation.","The Johnson County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a proclamation designating March 31, 2025, as Transgender Day of Visibility. Local advocates thanked the board, warned about state-level policy threats and invited the public to community events this week.","actionData","errors"]
