The AZ Defenders provide the manpower behind legislative “Call-to-Action” campaigns from recognized state and national motorcycle rights organizations.
In a nutshell, the AZDefenders are dedicated to preserving the US Constitution and applying their collective manpower where it can best serve the riding public and local communities.
Overview
A system of representatives from the memberships of traditional motorcycle clubs and riding associations was created. Two (2) members from each organization, a primary and an alternate are chosen to act as the liaison between their perspective clubs and the US Defender program. These representatives became known as US Defenders.
When a Call-to-Action (CTA) is brought forth by a motorcycle rights organization (MRO) such as ABATE, MRF, Registered Motorcycle Lobbyist or any other motorcycle rights organization, and is recognized as falling with in the criteria (Motorcycle specific, either legislative or judicial) of the COC or NCOM, the US Defenders are activated. The Defenders units are called in and briefed on the call to action and trained on the nature of the action such as letter writing, e-mailing, phone calling etc. The AZDefenders will provide logistical support and then return to their perspective clubs and association, share the training and Call-to-Action with their memberships and implement action.
