From Krysta Bisnauth, Freedom United

Freedom United invites you to a special webinar on forced prison labor! Join us on Wednesday February 1 at 12:00 p.m. ET.* Register today!

Reserve your spot!

February 1 is Freedom Day – the day the resolution that would later become the 13th Amendment was signed by Abraham Lincoln.  On Freedom Day and the start of Black History Month 2023, we’re sitting down with:  * Jeronimo Aguilar from Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, an organization that organizes communities impacted by the criminal justice system and advocates to release incarcerated people  * Sean Kyler from the Vera Institute of Justice who leads the team’s work to end the exception clause contained in the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution * Max Parthas from the Abolish Slavery National Network who has assisted in removing slavery exception clauses from the state constitutions of Colorado, Utah, and Nebraska   We’re kicking things off with a crucial question: Did the 13th Amendment really abolish slavery?  Want to learn more about prison labor or share your views? Then make sure to join us!

We’ll discuss this and other burning questions to better understand why 5 states had slavery on their ballots in the 2022 U.S. midterm elections.  

*5pm U.K., 6pm CET. To find the time where you are click through to the registration page. 

Looking forward to seeing you there! 

In solidarity, 

Krysta and the team supporting the Freedom United community
