If you would like more information or would like to be involved in our efforts, please call or e-mail us. Here is what we have been up to so far:

-Leading a statewide coalition with national partners to reform Illinois' prostitution laws and improve mechanisms to prosecute domestic sex traffickers and curb demand.

-Working with the Cook County Sheriff's Office to create protocols that provide options for persons involved in prostitution and trafficking, increasing prosecutions of traffickers and penalties for customers of the sex trade.

- Working with area rape crisis centers to survey the experiences of survivors as they navigate Cook County's criminal justice system, laying the groundwork for community organizing around issues of sexual exploitation.

- On-going media advocacy to educate the public about sexual harm and responding to pertinent community issues covered by local and national press outlets.
