"They slave us." This is an excerpt from 400 letters Legal Aid collected from people inside NY prisons, exposing inhumane working conditions. It's time NY closed the legal loophole allowing for slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment. https://t.co/8deTBrsnHu

“If the No Slavery in NY Act had been passed before my incarceration, I would have had a more dignified experience.” Geneo Jamal Wali knows what it’s like to be considered property of the state. #NoSlaveryinNY will end forced labor and it must be passed. Now.

🚨Would you call THIS slavery? As Citizen Action Member Liza Acquah shares, no one deserves to be treated as a slave of the state. We must pass #NoSlaveryInNY now.

“We must abolish anything and everything that dehumanizes, devalues and demeans Black, Brown and Indigenous people - and prison slavery does that." 📢 ‼️ As someone who was incarcerated for 49 years, Citizen Action's Jalil Muntaqim knows why we NEED #NoSlaveryinNY.

Slavery *still* exists in New York State ‼️ An exception to the U.S. Constitution’s 13th Amendment legalized modern-day slavery for incarcerated folks in New York. A clear violation of labor rights, racial justice and basic human dignity. #NoSlaveryinNY will change this 💪

Exciting news! It's critical that we pass the #NoSlaveryinNY bill this year to close the slavery loophole and abolish forced labor of any kind in New York State.
Earlier today, the NY State Senate Judiciary voted to pass the #NoSlaveryinNY bill out of committee. 13th Forward thanks Chair @BradHoylman & lead sponsor @SenatorMyrie for advancing the bill. We look forward to @CarlHeastie and the @NYSA_Majority doing the same very soon.
