Love Uprising

What Love Uprising does

Love Uprising, operating as Uprising and legally organized as Uprising, LLC, is a Sheridan, Wyoming-based nonprofit founded in 2019 by Terri Markham and Alexandra Ford/Stuartson. The organization's mission is to confront human trafficking and exploitation in Wyoming and the broader Rocky Mountain region through a three-tier model: professional education for law enforcement, healthcare workers, and educators; community awareness building through events and caregiver/parent trainings; and direct youth prevention programming from elementary through college age.

Core offerings are organized around three pillars — Awareness, Education, and Outreach — and include professional human trafficking identification and investigation training (including a four-day advanced course that supported a coordinated sting operation yielding arrests in Sweetwater County), youth prevention curricula covering sextortion and online safety, caregiver classes, free downloadable toolkits and fact sheets, public speaker requests, and the annual Greater Rockies Immersive Training (GRIT) Conference, which by 2026 was co-organized across state lines with the Montana and Wyoming Attorney General offices and FYN Global. The organization reports training 500+ individuals in Sheridan County within a five-month period and is recognized in coverage as the go-to human trafficking training provider in Wyoming.

All core services are delivered free of charge; the organization funds operations through individual donations processed via Network for Good and Giving Fuel, grant funding (one undisclosed 'sizable' grant referenced), community fundraising events (Crossfit rowathons, golf tournaments, awareness-month activities), and merchandise sales through its website shop. Uprising is a member of the Wyoming Human Trafficking Task Force, Sheridan County Coalition Against Violence, Sheridan County Council of Social Agencies, the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, and operates with co-sponsorship from the Wyoming Division of Victim Services. The organization has no disclosed app, API, AI capabilities, patents, or external funding rounds, and reports a headcount of 1-10.
