A couple of short steps forward
And Several Looong Steps Backwards

Quite honestly America, as a whole is in a state of collapse and though I do wish to see the registry laws change. This country may not be here long enough for any registrants to see it.

If Rus-China takes over (urr economically speaking) then every citizen will get a taste of what registrants experience everyday …or worse.

Great article. At the end the notation about the annual symposium for homeless is at a park. So if it is annual?? Then perhaps next year if they do the same we speak up before the event. Like FAC did in that county where registrants could not go to the city council meetings because of the location. It kind of makes me wonder….how many out reach services/awareness events can registrants not go to because of location?

I have a college degree and not very often I get stumped on a word I have to look up. Had to look this one up in the article. Just in case anyone cares.

“Contravenes”.
violate the prohibition or order of (a law, treaty, or code of conduct):
conflict with (a right, principle, etc.), especially to its detriment:

Not to compare ourselves to the freed slaves, but even once they were freed, life was not a bed of roses for them. Similar to my ancestors who were forced onto reservations and had the land stolen. The U.S overall has not had a good history of human rights.

Just a shame we have come so far, and yet we haven’t.

We all agree that someone is less likely to commit any crime if they have housing, a family and support system, a job etc. But on the registry, that is nearly impossible. I have not worked since 2014 as I have been fired from the last 7 jobs I had. NONE were for anything I did wrong at work, and I was always honest when hired. But once either a customer or an employee found out I was a “Sex Offender”, I was let go.
I see all the time places begging for help as they are so short handed. But if we apply, a lot of us never get a call back if we are honest about our charges. And if you are not honest and up front, it will come back to haunt you.

Never thought American citizens would need to petition the UN for basic human rights in the land of the free.
