"Since its founding in 1998 following the infamous El Monte sweatshop slavery case, the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking has invested in human resilience by helping clients recover from years of abuse and trauma. CAST’s mission is to assist persons trafficked for the purpose of forced labor and slavery-like practices and to work toward ending all instances of such human rights violations. CAST’s trafficking cases are recognized nationally and internationally and serve as a best-practice model of inter-agency collaboration and empowerment of survivors. The program is known best for its success in assisting survivors in their journey from being victims of trafficking to becoming self-sufficient, thriving members of the communities in which they live. These services include access to food, shelter, job training, intensive case management, legal assistance, mental health and wellness, alternative non-western healing therapies, education, and life skills training. CAST’s emergency response program also includes a 24-hour hotline (888-539-2373)"

"The Peoples Temple, the organization at the center of the Jonestown incident, was headquartered in San Francisco, California, from the early to mid-1970s until the Temple's move to Guyana.



While the Temple originated in Indiana in the 1950s, after leader Jim Jones predicted an apocalypse that would create a socialist Eden on earth, it moved to Redwood Valley, California in the late 1960s. Its headquarters later moved into San Francisco, where Jones remained until July 1977, when Jones fled with almost 1,000 Temple members to Jonestown, Guyana following investigations by local media."
