Federal Way Coalition Against Trafficking (FWCAT) is a group of committed individuals that educates and engages our community so that each person can play a role in ending human trafficking. Seattle Against Slavery (SAS) mobilizes our community in the fight against labor and sex trafficking through education, advocacy, and collaboration with local and national partners. We envision a community where no one is exploited for labor or sex.
