Who we are

We are a volunteer, non-profit organization composed of Oregonians committed to justice and reason in laws relating to sex crimes. We are fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, grandparents — members of families that have victims of sexual abuse as well as those who have committed sexual offenses.

What We Believe

  • No sexual abuse or sexual assault is ever acceptable. All victims of abuse have the right to seek justice in a system that is objective and supportive.
  • The registry does not protect children from abuse. It undermines proven safety and prevention strategies and destabilizes communities, families, and individuals.
  • More resources should be directed to sexual violence prevention, education, response, rehabilitation, and victim services. 
  • Mandatory sentencing laws prevent judges from determining appropriate punishments.

What We Do

  • We provide support and resources for individuals and families impacted by the registry.
  • We work with attorneys and other groups to widen support for registrants in rebuilding responsible lives in the community.
  • We bring the best current research and evidence-based practices to advocate for reforms to bring the criminal justice system in line with what the research tells us creates safer communities.
