About Us
Hands and Feet
What makes Bikers Against Trafficking (BAT) unique is that we don't simply talk about making a difference we MAKE a difference. We believe we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus and we our passionate about what we do. Through our strategic partnerships and our volunteers we are able to help extricate those stuck in the life, provide counseling, build awareness, supply resources and provide housing for those who have survived being trafficked. We also have specialized partners that work behind the scenes to eliminate the demand side. We believe we are to make a difference by getting involved!

Get Involved
Bikers are invaluable in the fight against this heinous crime. As the eyes and ears of our communities you are in a unique position to spot traffickers who seek to exploit human beings for sex and to see their victims and then DO something about it. We are forming Chapters around the world and seeking to build an army who want to do more than "talk" about things. A group of people who want to role up their sleeves and make a difference.
