Fighting for the Constitutional Rights of all American Citizens.

The purpose of RSOL is to end the punitive, public "sex offender" registry, residency restrictions, and civil commitment laws which endanger our society and stigmatize, shame, and unnecessarily ruin the lives of registered children, adults, and family members. We hope to raise critical awareness about legal and social policy in the United States about sex offenders. We believe these policies should change and that thoughtful people will agree when they know the facts. Read our official statement, Reform Sex Offender Laws Now!, which has been signed by academics, professionals, and activists. We are seeking your signature and support for our message, too.
