California Against Slavery

The issue of  human trafficking was introduced to me by volunteers for California Against Slavery. I am grateful to them for helping to open my eyes on this horrible reality. Now I proudly say that I too am a CAS volunteer! In my next post, I'll share about my first volunteer experience with this wonderful group.

Here is some info about CAS copied from the website:

"California Against Slavery (CAS) is a non-profit, non-partisan human rights organization.  We want to make human trafficking the riskiest criminal business in California.

Our Mission:
To defend the freedom of every child, woman and man
by empowering the people of California
to fulfill our obligation to stop human trafficking.

Our Goal:
To pass a ballot initiative in 2012 to enact just and effective state laws
to protect victims and prevent and prosecute the crime of human trafficking.

In doing so, California will lead our nation in a historic movement to stop modern day slavery."
