Established in 2009, TAT (Truckers Against Trafficking) started with a simple, yet powerful, belief: that every truck driver can be a crucial ally in the fight against human trafficking. Since then, TAT has grown to encompass a greater portion of the transportation industry in its work, forming deep alliances to maximize collective effort through programs that include innovative training, partnerships with law enforcement and advocacy efforts. TAT is driven by the belief that together, we can make a difference.
We encourage everyone to join their mobile army and become an everyday hero in the fight against human trafficking! Every donation they receive fuels their mission to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize key industries and agencies to combat human trafficking, dismantle trafficking networks, recover survivors, and bring perpetrators to justice.
