Honorable MENtions: Fighting Injustice With A Suit

The Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking (CAST) was created in 1998 in Los Angeles to help provide comprehensive and direct services, advocacy, coalition building, and more to help survivors of trafficking. The not-for-profit organization also operates a shelter and a family clinic to also address both the health and the mental health of the survivors. If interested, you can volunteer or participate in an internship program, get educated about the issues, or organize fundraisers or organize your own community or university group.
At the Gallant Suits Launch Party this October 21st, 2012, CAST will benefit from 100% of net proceeds from every suit sold at the event to support the rescue and shelter of formerly trafficked women in LA.
