Giving Tuesday and Holiday Fundraiser

Without a lawyer, many survivors lack options for leaving the cycle of violence and exploitation that defines human trafficking. They need professional help to divorce the abuser, clear criminal records, resolve identity theft by the trafficker and fight the many other ways that traffickers abuse the law to control them.

Or else, they are trapped. If they try to leave without protections in the legal system, they risk losing custody of their children, homelessness or having to return to their trafficker.

ALIGHT is unique in leveraging technology (think: Lyft app) and legal networks to mobilize specialized pro bono attorneys who provide trauma-informed services directly to survivors at scale. We inclusively serve survivors of all genders, races, backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations in our communities. While a homegrown CO operation since 2017, ALIGHT has now helped hundreds of survivors and taken a national leadership role in fighting for the rights of survivors.

ALIGHT is one of 16 specialized legal services providers for human trafficking survivors in the entire United States, according to The Legal Deserts Report (2021).

ALIGHT was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Denver in 2015 to implement our innovative - and impactful - tech model (think: Lyft). The American Bar Association nationally recognized this work in 2020. In 2021, ALIGHT co-founded the National Survivor Law Collective with other national leaders to study and address the legal deserts in this country.

As of November 2024, ALIGHT has helped over 330 survivors on over 650 legal cases in 33 states and Washington, DC.

There are so many more survivors ALIGHT still needs to reach and help.

Join us to empower human trafficking survivors on their path to true freedom.
