Our Mission Today

At Swing Free, our mission is to protect and preserve primates by ending the illegal capture, trade, and smuggling of monkeys across the U.S.–Mexico border.

 

We are committed to raising awareness, empowering communities, and partnering with law enforcement and rescue organizations to stop the suffering at its source.

Primates belong in the wild, swinging free, surrounded by their families, not trapped in cages.

 

Let’s stand together for the ones who can’t speak for themselves and help every monkey Swing Free.
