Setting our sights on an important milestone: 10,000 signatures.

When we launched this petition calling for an end to public sex offender registration and highlighting its conflict with fundamental human rights principles, we knew it would be an uphill battle. Yet thousands of people have already added their names, recognizing that public registries do not simply affect those listed on them—they impact spouses, children, families, and entire communities.

Today, we are setting our sights on an important milestone: 10,000 signatures. Because numbers matter. Every signature represents a voice demanding that policymakers, journalists, researchers, and the public take a closer look at the human consequences of public registration laws. A petition with a few hundred signatures can be dismissed. A petition with thousands becomes harder to ignore. A petition with 10,000 signatures sends a powerful message that this issue affects far more people than those directly listed on a registry.

If you have already signed, thank you. Now we ask one more favor: share this petition with your friends, family members, colleagues, and anyone who believes that human rights apply to everyone.

Together, let's reach 10,000 signatures and show that there is a growing movement of people willing to stand for fairness, dignity, and policies grounded in facts rather than fear.
