Who we are
Lumen Freedom Initiative is a nonprofit working against human trafficking in the United States. We focus on research, public education, survivor support, and partnerships with law enforcement and community organizations.
How we work
Survivors first
We direct funding and referrals to established organizations that provide direct services. We never share a survivor's story or image without their informed consent.
Accurate information
Every statistic we publish is sourced and dated. When data is uncertain or incomplete, we say so.
Support, not duplication
Many organizations already do excellent work. Where a gap exists, we work to fill it. Where it doesn't, we support the people already doing the work.
Prevention
Most trafficking begins with recruitment. We focus on helping people recognize recruitment early, before someone is trapped.
Work with us
We are looking for volunteers, partner organizations, schools, and advisors. If you want to be part of building Lumen Freedom Initiative, we would like to hear from you.
