WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 12 Issue 4 | 19 Come join with us as we seek to break the chains of human sexual trafficking in the United States. Founded by "Doc" Nave and Diena Cannavino, BAT is a non-profit that educates, empowers, counsels and mobilizes members of the motorcycle community to make a difference in this age old war. Check out our Facebook page at BikersAgainstTraffickingFL or our website to learn how you can get involved and start making a difference today. 407-300-8971 3. Your group will have to purchase the back patches from the International office and other items as well... unless other arrangements are made. 4. We ask that you run a Facebook page. We will provide links to it on our national Facebook page and website. 5. You will need to conduct one poker run/rally a year at minimum (or fundraiser). 90% of all funds raised (throughout the year) will be kept for your group to use and 10% will be given to the national organization to help with overhead expenses. You can have the run whenever you like as it is important to use the run or something similar to build awareness. 6. Outside of the Poker Run/Rally that is held yearly, each group will be asked to send in 10% of all funds raised to help support the national outreach and organization. We advertise in national magazines, have a presence in the Netherlands, Canada and Ukraine through partnerships and will be developing more of these as the organization grows. We also ask for a yearly report to be given of all funds raised and where those funds went. We ask for monthly reports to be sent updating us on all activities. Remember our number one goal is to eradicate human sex trafficking! Our activities should reflect this. 7. At a certain point in time, we will hold a national or regional rally to educate, equip, empower and just have some fun as a larger family. For 2021 the national rally will be held the first Friday night in Sturgis. 8. You will be asked to complete an online course in human trafficking that we conduct via our YouTube video. If you are reading this article in the Digital version of Wheels Of Grace magazine, please click on the link and watch the video. This is important!!! THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE INVOLVED WITH US MUST WATCH. There is no substitute for this requirement. (There is also a training tab on the website for additional training for those who want to check it out) VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=eqsnff6eCWM&list=PLKOHTE6p9Jt4f2k3uZSDAv_ BIOfS3ENqb 9. Finally, you will be asked to sign a statement supporting the stand against human sexual trafficking. 10. Last but not least, we will attempt to visit with your group at least once yearly, as we are available and able. If you feel led to start up a group in your area please let us know. Handbook Our Handbook explains who is eligible to become a member and what we are all about and how to run a Chapter. Please open the link under the "download" section to read the handbook. Vest Standards On the front of the vest, left side if you are wearing it, right side as you look at it, should be your name (biker name) and position (if you have one). The rest of the front you can do what you want just be tasteful and don't wear anything that goes against what BAT stands for. (another option: as long as the entire chapter decides you can split the name and position) On the back of the best, BAT patch in the back and do not do anything that would make it look like a 3 piece patch or that would emphasize a territory. You can put other things on it just be tasteful and make sure it is not against what we stand for. One Percent Groups We are not affiliated with any 1% groups. We are an association and not a motorcycle three- piece patch club. For more information go to: www.BikersAgainstTrafficking.org and click on the CHAPTER INFORMATION tab Peace out, We believe we have a powerful mission and we are sold out and we are looking for people who want more than a patch. People who want to make a difference. WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 12 Issue 4 | 19
