In recent
years, politicians have increasingly preyed on the public’s fears of sex
offenders. The result: a host of do nothing, ineffective laws that punish sex
offenders again and again for crimes committed in the past. Based in Cincinnati,
Ohio, the Ohio Justice & Policy Center (OJPC) is a non-profit, public interest
law firm dedicated to protecting and fighting for the civil liberties of former
offenders, including those who have committed sex offenses. We are currently
fighting sex offender residency restrictions in state of Ohio and federal courts
and will soon challenge the constitutionality of the new Adam Walsh Act, which,
among other things, retroactively increases the amount of time that sex
offenders must remain on the registry.
We need your help. Because we provide all of our services free of charge, we ask
you to consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support our work.
Even if you live outside of Ohio, please consider supporting OJPC. As one of
the only non-profit law offices in the country working to fight these laws, we
hope that our efforts in Ohio will eventually achieve impact nationwide.
Please help us by making a tax-deductible contribution today. We need to raise
at least $50,000 to continue our sex offender work over the next year. Every
contribution, no matter how small, will help us reach our goal. To donate
online, please visit our website, link below. Or, send a check to Ohio
Justice & Policy Center, 215 East 9th Street, Suite 601,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
Thanks.
