Seen at the #Juneteenth festival in Philly…#EndTheException The fight for our freedom continues. ✊🏾

On this #LaborDay, over 800,000 people are enslaved in U.S. prisons. 200 of them have written to #EndTheException, sharing the horrors of prison slavery with the outside would. You can read their stories in this new archive: https://t.co/0YSzuJ0Ctj #EndTheException @WorthRises

On a day that celebrates freedom, we hold close those who are still not free. Slavery didn’t end—it was legalized behind bars. Our hearts are with our loved ones locked away. We’re not free until we’re all free. #FourthOfJuly #EndTheException

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, we honor the fight for Black liberation against unimaginable odds. But let's also acknowledge: slavery is still legal in the U.S. under the 13th Amendment's exception. #EndtheException

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery in 1865 ... so why did a 1970 court case say that incarcerated people had no protection from slavery?? Because the 13th Amendment has an exception clause. Time to #EndtheException.

Thank you to Terrance Winn, for showing us all what it means to be vulnerable, to speak truth to power, and to be courageous. #EndPlantationPrisons #EndTheException

Thank you to one of our founding board members, Professor Andrea Armstrong, for your powerful testimony on work conditions in prisons. #EndPlantationPrisons #EndTheException

This #Juneteenth, we’re calling on all corporations to stop their use of prison labor, institute policies to prohibit prison labor in their supply chains, and endorse the Abolition Amendment. Tell your favorite brands to get on board! https://t.co/wYyrlRBdYl #EndTheException

It has been 159 years since the 13th Amendment was ratified. But make no mistake: Slavery in the form of prison labor still exists today. Congress must pass the Abolition Amendment to finally #EndTheException in the 13th Amendment and ban slavery once and for all.

It's time to end forced labour in prisons in the US. 🚫 It creates a financial incentive for mass incarceration, exploiting incarcerated people as a source of cheap labour. 📢 Sign the petition today: https://t.co/KN8m914YpH @freedomunitedHQ #EndTheException

They can be exploited because of an exception in the 13th Amendment that still allows for slavery as punishment for a crime. We need to #EndtheException NOW and give these firefighters the labor protections they deserve for their heroic services (2/2🧵). https://t.co/OdFExZiByL

For years, the #EndTheException campaign corresponded w/ incarcerated workers. Stories & analyses inform the work, but many risk serious retaliation for writing. Now it’s time the public hears from them. Check out this new digital archive of letters: https://t.co/8JuJnAh1nt

Slavery has always been wrong, and the time has come to eliminate the loophole in the Constitution allowing slavery as punishment for a crime. I will continue working to achieve this once and for all. Let's #EndTheException.

159 years after the 13th Amendment was ratified, slavery still exists. I’m proud to cosponsor the Abolition Amendment, which will finally #EndTheException and ban slavery across the country

Thank you to @SenBooker for the selfie shoutout and more importantly, for holding a hearing on the serious issue of forced labor. #EndPlantationPrisons #EndTheException
