“I was aware of the safety measures that I had to take or that should be available to me. Unfortunately, they weren’t. I actually saw a person lose an entire wrist. We never saw him again. If I didn’t work, they would make life miserable for me, and they have a lot of ways to do it.”
Print this postcard and send Jose’s story to your Congressmember urging passage of the Abolition Amendment. Together we can abolish slavery for all.
“I had no idea that there was an exception clause to the 13th Amendment. I was shocked when I realized that there is an exception and I am the exception. And from here on in, I will be a slave.
Ending the exception would be a path towards recognizing the value of prison labor. At least, men and women would then be treated as common workers and not exploited to the point where we are slaves.”
