ABOUT
The Holloman Center for Social Justice
Established in 2020, the Holloman Center for Social Justice is a pioneering initiative dedicated to advocating for police reform and advancing racial equity throughout Southwestern Ohio. As the only center in the region focused solely on reforming municipal policing practices, we collaborate with local communities and policymakers to create meaningful change. Located at the Avondale Town Center, our doors opened in August 2023, and we have since been at the forefront of driving systemic reform and fostering community empowerment.
Our Vision
We envision a region free from racial profiling, police bias, excessive uses of force, and racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Our goal is to create a just and equitable society where every individual is treated with dignity and respect by law enforcement.
Our Mission
Our mission is to serve as a regional catalyst for collaborative police reform efforts between communities and police departments in Southwestern Ohio. We are committed to engaging in policy advocacy, data collection and reporting, community education, and organizing to advance racial equity and social justice.

Urban Expungement Program
The Urban League of Greater Southwestern Ohio’s Expungement Program, in partnership with the Hamilton County Public Defender, National Urban League, and the Ohio Justice Bus, provides crucial legal assistance for individuals seeking to clear their criminal records. This initiative aims to remove barriers to employment, housing, education, and other opportunities by leveraging existing expungement statutes to identify eligible records for clearance. Participants receive free legal reviews, assistance with paperwork and court filings, and information on their rights and career training opportunities. The program's comprehensive approach ensures that individuals have the support they need to achieve a fresh start and enhance their quality of life.
