Illinois Voices supports laws that make sense, that are based on empirical evidence, and that are constitutional. We encourage lawmakers to pass laws that will actually protect society, and we oppose laws based on knee-jerk reaction. We support the current task force that is studying the patch-work set of laws in Illinois, and hope that lawmakers will take their report seriously.

The vision of this organization is to abolish the multiple Sex Offender Registries across this nation. Women Against Registry also seeks to restore Life, Health and Freedom to all individuals who have been injured by the requirements of registration, especially innocent family members. We foresee a day when the suffocating stigma surrounding registration will be removed in favor of proper sentencing coupled with appropriate treatment; a day when the indefinite detention of civil commitment is replaced with compassionate programs designed to heal and restore.

Our concern is for every citizen of Florida to enjoy a safer environment, particularly our children. Today people have access to a world of information through the media, internet and newspapers. Often times, information become distorted and it becomes hard to distinguish sensationalism from fact. Our current policies for sex offender management are failing. We need to fix our broken system to create a safer Florida.
