Maybe an infographic would be a good smaller initial project at this point.
I haven't made an info graphic in a long time. I would enjoy working on that.

This is a serious humanitarian issue. Thankfully organization like DARPA is playing important role to help investigators find the online perpetrators of those crimes. Yes ! making data accessible.

Hi! I volunteer for a local Denver non-profit, alightnet.org, who connect human trafficking survivors to lawyers through technology. I recently found out about Designing for Good Grant (designingforgood.com) and I want to create a video that incorporates infographics regarding human trafficking. If granted, the grant goes directly to the non-profit. I'd love to bounce ideas. There's a tight deadline of Jan 21 for video submission. Thanks!
Why This Project
Human trafficking (aka Slavery) is a horrific human rights abuse. Denver is a major hub for human trafficking. Let's do something about it.
Here are a couple facts:
-- Colorado officers, FBI rescued 20 kids, arrested 7 pimps in sex trafficking operation
Here's some facts from the Polaris Project's website:
Why Code for Denver
We might be able to create an infographic to help inform people about the issue, or maybe help create a tool, or suggest a technology that nonprofits working in the space could benefit from.
