What is the Ally Initiative?

The Ally Initiative by Because Organization is more than a program; it's a movement. It's about standing up against human trafficking, not as individuals, but as a united community. We transform local businesses into havens of safety and support, creating a network of allies that survivors of human trafficking can turn to for help, hope, and healing.

Who are Allies?

Allies are local businesses - from cafes and bookstores to salons and more - that step forward to make a real difference. As an Ally, your establishment becomes a beacon of safety in the community, a place where survivors can find a moment of peace, and the public can learn and engage in the fight against human trafficking.

Benefits for Allies, Community, and Survivors:

For Allies: Being an Ally elevates your business in more ways than one. It strengthens your standing in the community, fosters team spirit around a noble cause, and empowers you and your staff with essential knowledge and purpose.

​

For the Community: Your participation as an Ally raises awareness and educates the public about human trafficking. It helps in building an informed, vigilant, and supportive community that stands together against this global issue.

​

For Survivors: The safe spaces and support you provide as an Ally can be life-changing for survivors. It's a place where they can feel secure, get access to essential resources, and start rebuilding their lives with dignity and hope.
