Why Join Us ?
Just Ride For A Just Cause is an MS150 Recommended bike ride on the west side of the Greater Houston Metropolitan area. The proceeds from the JR4JC ride supports Passion for Humanity on the fight against human trafficking.
The ride starts at Simonton community Church, Simonton, TX. We have something for everyone, a short family scenic ride, for the less experienced, to a longer more challenging ride for the serious rider, with multiple routes in between.
Our Mission is to increase awareness of and offer support for victims of sex trade and commercial sexual exploitation in the greater Houston Area.
We all can help to stop this slavery and create a safe environment for our community.

THE CAUSE:
Passion for Humanity is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to increase awareness of and offer support for victims of sex trade and commercial sexual exploitation in the greater Houston area. We provide and promote local community and sporting events such as the Just Ride For a Just Cause, as a vehicle to generate awareness and aid in the restoration of victims of modern-day slavery. Proceeds from this events will be used to support Human trafficking victims by providing aftercare in the form of housing, counseling, healthcare and education programs.
Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery where people profit by deceiving, controlling, coercing and exploiting others. The victims of human trafficking include children involved in the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or deceived into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced into different forms of "labor or services" against their will. It is very real and happens all around us.
