WHAT WE DO
Established in 2016, The Freedom Ride Project is a 501C3, with the mission to raise awareness about human trafficking and move people to action in their own communities. We do this through athletic events like The Freedom Ride, which raise awareness about human trafficking, and through our Freedom Ambassador Program, where youth actively address human trafficking through their own grass-roots community projects.
WHO WE ARE
Our Team is made up of a great leaders, volunteers, riders, crew and ambassadors. Every one of us is committed to ending human trafficking in his or her own way, through service, sport, being a voice. We all do it in our own way, but we are ONE VOICE for ONE CAUSE. We hope you will join us!
GET INVOLVED
This is where the rubber hits the road! Our mission to raise awareness and move people to action really makes a difference when citizens like you step up and get involved. Our vision is that you not only learn about human trafficking, but also take action to transform your community and make it a safe and trafficking-free.
Human trafficking is the fastest growing illegal enterprise in the world, second only to drug trafficking, and surpassing it in some regions.

RIDE WITH US
The Freedom Ride is a 15-day bike ride covering about 1500 miles from Bend, Oregon to Newport Beach, California typically taking place in early fall 2019. The course winds through beautiful back roads and hills in Oregon, then follows the ocean along the Pacific Coast to finish in Newport Beach. Stay tuned for a possible Gran Fondo in 2019.
