drug user recovering in dark dingy rehab center

The Problem

“We can’t sit in rehab centers waiting for people to hit rock bottom. We can’t watch violence and hope someone else steps in.”

  • Addiction + trafficking devastate families and neighborhoods and cities.

  • Traditional systems leave gaps that people fall through.

  • It’s gonna take something bigger.

The Solution

“We dive straight into the darkness. We rescue the victims. We root out the bad guys. We restore broken lives, on both sides.”

  • Intel-driven extraction with Law Enforcement (LE) partners.

  • Immediate care and a safe onramp to a new life.
try again but make it darker and more military. maybe a dim spotlight on the table, no people shown

The Approach

  • Special-operations method: strategy, precision, boots on the ground.

  • pipeline: Rescue → Recovery → Restoration (owned by WFM end-to-end).

We are We Fight Monsters

Founded by those who've walked through darkness, We Fight Monsters was born from a mission to combat the devastating impact of trafficking and addiction. We were rescued, and now we dedicate ourselves to rescuing others. By combining strategic military tactics with collaborative partnerships, we bring hope and freedom to those trapped in the shadows.

A MESSAGE FROM BEN

Together we Fight.

About Us

We Fight Monsters is a beacon of hope in the darkest corners of our communities. Our mission is to confront and conquer the twin evils of human and narcotics trafficking, bringing light to places long shadowed by despair. We are a coalition of the brave – former special operators, law enforcement professionals, ex-cons, former gang members, and addiction recovery champions. United by a common goal, we venture into the most hostile areas to shut down sources of human suffering, rescue the exploited, and rehabilitate lives. By reclaiming neighborhoods, supporting victims, and empowering the vulnerable, we strive to lift communities from the depths of hopelessness to new heights of hope and dignity. Together, we fight not just monsters, but for the chance of a brighter tomorrow for all.
