Take the Registry Abolition Commitment Pledge!
In recognition that Sex Offense Registries are ineffective in their stated aim to improve public safety and yet they cause great harm to registrants, their families and communities, we commit to the goal of ending registries in the United States by 2025.
Across the United States, Sex Offense Registries are punitive. They have caused excessive collateral consequences while diverting funds from prevention, survivor, and reentry programs. Rather than reform, the whole system must be dismantled.
I/we commit to form or join a team to lead our community in one or more of the following:
Researching the history and ineffectiveness of sex offense registries
Meeting with legislators to educate them on registries (and get them to sign the pledge)
Educating the media to reduce sensationalized journalism that continues to keep people locked in their worst moments
Supporting programs and initiatives that champion the idea that people who have been held accountable should be allowed to move on with their lives
Promoting efforts on social media to abolish registries
Amplifying voices of people who have been impacted by failed registration laws
Communicating efforts taken at the local level back to the national movement
Bringing the national movement to your local community
End the Registry, in turn, commits to providing us with:
Actions to take, to address the issues facing registrants and their allies
Communication about efforts happening across the movement
