The license plate factory was a giant warehouse infested with rodents, and we worked there six to eight hours a day. It was the highest paying job in the department of corrections at a dollar an hour. Our labor was producing for the state and the private companies that shipped the raw materials — most people don’t know this about 3M. Most people use 3M products all the time when they purchase a Sharpie or Post-it.

Print this postcard and send James’ story to your Congressmember urging passage of the Abolition Amendment. Together we can abolish slavery for all.


The exception clause legalizes slavery in this country. It’s a reason why our communities are over policed, over arrested, over convicted. To end the exception means this country can reach its greatest potential.
