About Us

Justice For Sierah, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in honor of Sierah Joughin. “Ce” was abducted by a repeat violent offender while riding her bike in July 2016. Since then, thousands of Sierah’s friends, family and community members have come together to change the system that failed her.

Today, Justice For Sierah is dedicated to educating the public on Sierah’s Law. This bill (S.B. 231), named in honor of Sierah Joughin, established a violent offender database in Ohio in 2018. We’re also passionate about several programs that make our communities safer: We started the Sierah Strong program, which empowers our youth with self-awareness and self-defense techniques. We also invested in the KidPrint ID program that creates personalized ID’s that feature the child’s photo, vital statistics such as height, weight, and hair color along with a fingerprint to help find a missing child. Our two fundraisers, Spirit of Sierah Run on October 19th, 2019 and our newest event, Sierah’s Birthday Soiree on February 8th, 2020, are the foundations of support to allow us to develop and launch Sierah Strong in Ohio schools, with our first efforts starting in our local community.  

Sierah’s dreams were cut short by a senseless, preventable act, but now we fight to make her new dream a reality: that no one in our community be threatened by repeat offenders ever again.
