"Justice At Last helped me overcome insurmountable odds and did so with the greatest compassion and care. They were there when I had no one, simultaneously picking up the shattered pieces left behind from broken systems. I never felt like just a case, and I don't know where I'd be without them."
- A Justice At Last Minor Client in the need of identity documents, housing and public benefits access
"For 20 years and 6 months I was held back in life because of a conviction I knew I did not deserve. I could never find the courage to reach out for help because I figured nobody would believe me. I was so grateful to find Justice At Last. They understand survivors - I never felt like I had to explain how this could have happened nor did they ever make me feel judged. Justice At Last works with an amazing trauma therapist, and they were both there when I had to have a video conference with the State Attorneys office. I would not have had the strength to tell my story without them there. I am forever grateful to them for the freedom I thought I would never have."
-A Justice At Last Adult Client in need of crime victim's rights advocacy and post-conviction records clearance relief
Every day, thousands of people are forced, defrauded or threatened into commercial sex or forced labor. This is Human trafficking and it is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise of the 21st century. It is happening right here, in our communities.
But Justice At Last is fighting every day to protect trafficked persons' rights. And we need YOUR help. Our annual Giving Justice Campaign helps provide survivors with free, life-changing legal protection and support.
Justice At Last provides free legal services to trafficked persons to help rebuild lives and achieve meaningful justice. What does this mean in practice? Our award-winning attorneys support survivors in over 10 critical areas, including Minor/Youth Protection, Crime Victims’ Rights Enforcement, Restraining Orders and Emergency Child Custody, Post-Conviction Relief, and Immigration Protection.
We served 95 clients in 2020 and have represented 466 clients since our inception in 2015. Unfortunately, demand for our services continues to rise in 2021. We are up to the challenge. But we can’t do it alone.
We. Need. Your. Help.
Representing survivors through our complex legal system costs money - even for a small, lean organization that relies on volunteer and pro bono attorney support. We fund this work through donations from people like you.
All funds raised will go directly to trafficked persons through our legal programs. Your contribution will make a real, meaningful difference in the life of a trafficking survivor.
We are already in this fight. We could use your support in our corner. Will you join us?
