What is Fearless?
When a person has been accused or convicted of a sexual offense, life for them and their family and close friends can be extremely difficult to say the least. Families often feel alone, confused and terrified. One Standard of Justice (OSJ) is launching “FEARLESS” support groups. Many of you already know us and have become supporters. OSJ is a volunteer-based civil rights organization advocating for rational and compassionate reform of sex offense laws.
Fearless groups will build their own support community. Fearless meetings are aimed at breaking down the isolation by providing a safe place for people on the Registry and their loved ones to get together and learn ways to step out and take charge of their lives and overcome the stigma we all face. Fearless meetings are CLOSED in that they are open only to people on the Registry, family, and friends.
You don’t have to suffer alone.

Let’s all get on the compassion train.
Fearless is open to anyone affected by the Registry (registrants, family, and friends). We welcome everyone from our community, no matter which state they are from. All attendees must be over 18. This is to ensure a safe environment free from law enforcement or treatment professionals.
All attendees must agree to and abide by our group’s courtesies and traditions so that everyone feels respected, heard, and welcomed. We aim to create a safe space to share and find support.
Meetings will run up to 1.5 hours and we will review the general rules once the meeting begins.
** If you are on probation or parole, follow all requirements of your supervision including seeking permission from your probation/parole officer to participate in this group. If your PO will allow attendance only via phone, we have included a dial-in option. We encourage everyone to attend with video if possible.
