Freedom is our goal—and awareness is where it begins.

Join us for an urgent and thought-provoking evening, “Freedom is Our Goal: Human Trafficking Awareness During the World Cup,” hosted at the iconic LeMay Car Museum. As global events like the World Cup draw massive crowds and international attention, they also create conditions that traffickers exploit. With Fife serving as a critical corridor into the greater Seattle area, Washington State faces increased vulnerability to human trafficking during this time.

This event is designed to bring together civic leaders, policymakers, first responders, and community advocates to confront this reality head-on. Through powerful insights and real life stories from frontline experts, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how large-scale events amplify exploitation—and, more importantly, what can be done to stop it.

We will begin with awareness: identifying the warning signs, understanding the networks, and recognizing the local impact. From there, we move to prevention—exploring actionable strategies, policy solutions, and community-based interventions that can disrupt trafficking and protect those most at risk.

Sponsored by Compassion Washington, this gathering offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with those working on the front lines of this crisis. Set among the remarkable collection of the LeMay Museum, the evening promises to be both eye-opening and unforgettable.

Be part of the solution. Awareness leads to action—and action leads to freedom.
