Human Trafficking Awareness Day

Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day!

Awareness is one of our key pillars at C.A.S.T. The first step in ending exploitation is being aware that the issue exists, even in our backyard. One of the ways that C.A.S.T. spreads awareness is by hosting local events in the community — from seminars and round tables to restaurant nights and material donation drives. 🧡
