Be a Masshole, Not an Asshole
Male Massachusetts residents are 38% less likely than female residents to agree with the LGBTQ movement. So how do you get them to advocate for and vote to uphold transgender rights? You just tell them to be themselves. Redefining the term “Masshole” as the champion of civil liberties, our $11K social film reminded Massachusetts citizens, especially men, that only a real asshole would deny rights to their neighbors. “Be a Masshole, Not an Asshole” increased conversation and advocacy among unlikely audiences, helping uphold transgender rights during the 2018 midterm elections.

Gracie
There’s no greater deterrent than getting caught red-handed, but with limited volunteers, Street Grace couldn’t intercept more child sex buyers seeking to arrange services via text messages. We created Gracie, an artificially intelligent chatbot that intercepts and fools sexual predators into thinking a real child is being sold for sex. Over the first five months of Gracie's launch, she doubled the number of intercepts, while also creating the single biggest verifiable study on sex trafficking.

Stop Traffick
Atlanta is the worst place in the US for child sex trafficking, an issue set to worsen in the run up to hosting the Super Bowl. However, child sex trafficking had fallen off people's radars and had lost its stopping power. Through the symbolism of 72 buses, representing the number of children trafficked in Georgia each year, we reframed a space associated with safety, into a symbol no one could ignore. Stop Traffick galvanized Atlantans and policy makers around this horrific issue, leading to 169 arrests before Super Bowl LIII.
