21st Annual From Slavery to Freedom Gala
May 23, 2019 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm at California African American Museum (CAAM)
ABOUT THE EVENT: CAST’s mission is to end modern slavery through education, advocacy and empowering survivors of human trafficking. By 2025, CAST will create a bridge between practice and policy, meaning survivors are empowered and resilient, and working with practitioners to inform a survivor-centered policy agenda.
CAST’s Annual Gala is our signature event recognizing and honoring a select group of change agents who have committed themselves in the unyielding fight against modern slavery in our region. Last year, CAST raised over $700,000 that directly supported over 1,000 survivors and their families.
