Our mission is to resist Trump’s agenda by empowering local activist groups to make their Members of Congress listen. Our work is premised on a simple idea: that Trump’s agenda doesn’t depend on Trump--but rather on whether individual Members of Congress resist. In short, we work to support the creative, local leaders driving the Indivisible Movement. Following the election of Donald Trump, a group of two dozen former congressional staffers and progressive advocates drafted a document called “Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda.” What is the Indivisible Guide? It’s a toolkit on citizen power, a set of local, defensive advocacy strategies and tactics for resisting the Trump agenda. Thousands of local groups have now formed in nearly every congressional district in the country to put the guide into action.

Our mission is defeat trafficking networks. We are an intelligence-driven counter-human trafficking organization. As callous as it sounds, we believe most traffickers exploit people for one reason: because it makes money.

By analyzing a trafficker’s business, we can identify its vulnerabilities, create risk, and strategically disrupt it. Our diverse team leverages skills honed in the intelligence community, data analytics, financial services industry, and victim service provision. Our goal is to end human trafficking in the illicit massage industry by 2030. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Northern Virginia and work with partners across the United States.
