The Project

Alli’s (she/her/hers) project will focus on providing legal services and representation to victims of sexual exploitation in the Chicago area. The Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation addresses the culture, institutions, and individuals that perpetrate, profit from, or support sexual exploitation. Their work includes prevention, policy reform, community engagement, and legal services.

Alli is passionate about the intersectionality of gender-based violence and other forms of violence that impact countless communities across the United States.

Fellowship Plans

Alli will assist the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation by helping victims obtain legal protection from offenders via protective orders. She will also push to promote victims’ rights within the criminal justice system.

My Equal Justice Works Fellowship has given me the opportunity to serve victims of sexual abuse in the Chicago area. I have always been passionate about public service and pushing for a more equitable justice system.
