“They are the same attributes that described a slave in the past: the state of control exercised over the slave based on violence or its threat, a lack of any payment beyond subsistence, and the theft of the labor or other qualities of the slave for economic gain.”

The US criminal injustice system that locks up over 10% of the population, where the majority of the incarcerated are low level drug offenders, who are disproportionally Black and Latino, and who are put to work building up the revenues of big corporations in the US, is employing slavery.

Eradicating and raising awareness of this injustice should be part of the mission of this charity.
