API Chaya held its annual gala at the Seattle Westin on March 31.
Amita Swadhin — who testified in front of Congress on behalf of child sexual abuse survivors last year — was the keynote speaker.
All proceeds from the sold-out event go towards API Chaya’s work in supporting to end violence and exploitation in our communities.
