THE PETITION TO END SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
THE EXPLOITATION OF SLAVERY THROUGH THE 13TH AMENDMENT LOOPHOLE SINCE 1865 MUST END NOW. THIS EVIL LOOPHOLE MUST BE ABOLISHED. TOO MANY AMERICAN CITIZENS REMAIN WRONGFULLY INCARCERATED AND ENSLAVED BECAUSE OF THE CORRUPT FRAUDULENT UNCONSTITUTIONAL RACIST "WAR ON DRUGS" AND CRUEL INHUMANE "MANDATORY MINIMUMS."
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LIED ABOUT MARIJUANA TO COMMIT MORE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. NO PERSON DESERVES TO SERVE A LIFE SENTENCE OF FORCED LABOR FOR 1 GRAM OF MARIJUANA. CRUEL INHUMANE UNCONSTITUTIONAL PUNITIVE EXCESS MUST END NOW. EVERY CITIZEN WHO HAS HAD THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATED IS LEGALLY ENTITLED TO "DUE PROCESS" AND "EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS."
SHAME ON WALL STREET AND THEIR COMPLICIT CORPORATE CLIENTS WHO CONTINUE TO MAKE BILLIONS EXPLOITING RACIAL INJUSTICE AND SLAVERY THROUGH THE 13TH LOOPHOLE. SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION TO CONGRESS TO DEMAND FREEDOM AND JUSTICE NOW. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD. AMERICAN SLAVERY MUST FINALLY END. FAMILIES MUST BE REUNITED.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, 1868.
THE BLOODIEST victory for the Union army at the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg served as turning point in the American Civil War and eventually led Congress to create and implement the 13th Amendment. This Amendment has allowed and continues to allow Slavery and Exploitation to persist with unjust prison incarceration and oppressive American policies. It remains the same today, and it changed the laws regarding the legality of Slavery in the United States of America: "Neither SLAVERY nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865 did not truly put an end to American Slavery or the Evil racist systematic denial of human rights, but instead allowed Slavery and unjust forced labor to continue behind prison bars with inhumane incarceration and unconstitutional, immoral, Evil American laws that blatantly continue to violate human rights today.
The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment Loophole Since 1865 must finally End.
FROM the damning horrors of American "Chattel" Slavery, to the horrors of mass unjust incarceration and the Exploitation of "13th" Slavery through clear human rights violations inflicted by Evil cruel inhumane "Black Codes", "Chain Gangs", "Convict Leasing", to the tragic disturbing sickening horrors of the Evil "Jim Crow" Segregation Lynching Era, no longer can the American citizen remain silent about unjust incarceration or the continued Evil Corporate Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole. Slavery by any name is simply Evil and unacceptable. Unjust incarceration and inhumane prison Enslavement must officially end in America. Slavery must end. History must be told and remembered truthfully, so that Freedom and Justice can be served by Congress now. Today, the damning horrors of mass unjust incarceration and inhumane Evil Enslavement through the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole, are undeniably evident through the human rights violations of the unconstitutional egregious racist "War On Drugs" and the tragic painful human causalities of the clearly corrupt fraudulent oppressive Government prohibition of marijuana. In damning conjunction with disturbingly cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" that blatantly violate the most fundamental human and constitutional rights (because they continue to inflict inhumane unjust life sentences of forced labor), the United States Federal Government continues to commit crimes against humanity against its very own citizens. Congress must act now to uphold "Equal Justice Under Law."
The Evil 13th Amendment Slavery loophole must be abolished. Congress has a moral responsibility to end American Slavery for real this time and also a clear constitutional legal obligation to uphold "Due Process" and "Equal Protection of the Laws" for all citizens who currently remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in violent prisons because of the unconstitutional, fraudulent, racist, corrupt "War On Drugs" marijuana prohibition, and because of cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" that continue to violate basic human rights. Freedom and Justice must be served now by Congress. No Slavery. No exceptions. Sign the petition.
THE unconstitutional, fraudulent, blatantly corrupt "War On Drugs" and racist marijuana prohibition, along with cruel and inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" at this very moment continue to unjustly incarcerate and Enslave American citizens behind prison bars for LIFE for trivial non-violent things and marijuana possession. Collectively, these inhumane and unconstitutional American policies, created and enforced by the Federal Government, continue to exacerbate the Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th loophole since 1865, which currently remains America's longest, most sickening, tragic humanitarian crisis that must be addressed by Congress now. Such inhumane practices and methods of unjust incarceration and clear Enslavement have obviously evolved over time and taken on new forms that continue to inflict suffering and pain today. It is up to the people of the United States of America to decide whether or not Slavery will truly end with Congress finally abolishing the loophole and finally upholding "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all citizens who have received unjust punishments and currently remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in prisons because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums." The United States Federal Government, along with all other guilty Wall Street financial institutions and complicit corporations that exploit unjust incarceration and Slavery through the 13th loophole, must be held accountable for Crimes Against Humanity. Freedom and Justice must be served by Congress.
It is time to Confront and END the legal legacy of racial terror and Slavery in the United States of America. The Evil 13th Amendment Slavery loophole from 1865, must finally END. The United States Federal Government, and ALL other Guilty corporate institutions, MUST be held accountable for Crimes Against Humanity.
TODAY unjust incarceration and the 13th Amendment prison Slavery loophole, clearly depicted above in this 1903 photo of American Children unjustly incarcerated and Enslaved in prison, continue to remain humanitarian crises of America, and are actively exploited for both cheap labor and profit in the billions BY OVER 4100 COMPANIES. What followed after the ratification of the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole up until now, has been the evolved humanitarian crises of unjust incarceration and corrupt racist oppressive American policies that blatantly violate fundamental human rights, and the subsequent Exploitation of said crises by American businesses. Since the start of the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole in 1865, these two methods of unjust incarceration and oppressive immoral policy have been used precisely to preserve Slavery and the brutal unjust Exploitation of inhumane forced labor behind prison bars. Understanding this continued Evil phenomenon, is critical to addressing the humanitarian crises of unjust incarceration and the corrupt Exploitative Prison Slavery system that unfortunately still plague American society in the year 2024. Corrupt for-profit private corporate prisons, supported by Wall Street financial investment companies, continue to be one of the biggest influential harmful political lobbyists in America that have purposefully spent millions preventing legislative justice reform and actively enabled exploitative unjust incarceration and harsh Enslavement with egregious inhumane practices such as lockup prison quotas. For-profit private corporate prison companies also lobby very hard for unconstitutional "Mandatory Minimum" sentences, which in combination with the blatantly racist and fraudulent government marijuana prohibition ("War On Drugs") that has acted as state sponsored racial oppression violating the constitutional human rights of millions of Americans over the many decades, "Mandatory Minimums" again continue to disturbingly Enslave and inflict cruel unjust inhumane life sentences of forced labor for trivial things and marijuana possession. Truly sickening and shameful actions from the United States Federal Government, from Wall Street financial institutions, from every complicit major corporation that profits off of unjust mass incarceration and outright exploits the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole from 1865. FREEDOM and JUSTICE must be served.
CONGRESS has a clear constitutional legal obligation to finally uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all American citizens who currently remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in violent prisons because of the unconstitutional, racist, corrupt "War On Drugs" and inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" that continue to inflict unjust cruel life sentences of forced labor. No person deserves to die Enslaved in a violent prison because of unconstitutional corrupt Evil American laws that clearly inflict unjust cruel punishments that violate human rights. The American citizen must be able to find courage to exercise constitutional rights so that Congress will hear the calling from the People to finally end Slavery and unjust incarceration in the United States of America. Congress must uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all citizens who remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved today.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
8th Amendment to the United States Constitution, 1791.
PROFITING off of unjust incarceration and exploiting cruel inhumane punishments for cheap free labor, is absolutely Evil, corrupt, immoral, and must finally end. Some of the biggest Wall Street financial institutions that are guilty today for enabling and exploiting the current unjust Evil broken prison Slavery system, are the same financial banks that made billions exploiting and profiting off of the Evil Transatlantic Slave Trade (1501-1867), in which nearly 13 million African people were violently kidnapped, forced onto European and American ships, trafficked across the Atlantic Ocean, bought, sold, Enslaved, tortured, forever separated from homes, families, ancestors, and cultures. Countless men, women, and children murdered, raped, and brutally worked to death. This Evil American history must never be forgotten.
RACIAL INJUSTICE must be met with civil non-violent resistance that will successfully urge Congress to uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all citizens who currently remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved throughout violent American prisons because of the fraudulent, unconstitutional, racist "War on Drugs." American citizens must be able to exercise their constitutional rights to tell Congress to STOP the Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865 once and for all. Unconstitutional cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimum" punitive excess must officially end in America and that starts first and foremost with acknowledging the egregious human rights violations of the "War On Drugs" and ending the destructive legal legacy of racism and Slavery in the United States. It is critical to tell history truthfully, so that FREEDOM and JUSTICE can be served by Congress today.
The labor of Enslaved Americans fueled the rapid growth of the national economy. Forced by the whip to work faster, better, and harder, African Americans, often malnourished and sleep-deprived, used extraordinary skill to catapult the United States into the global economy. In 1800 Enslaved African Americans produced 1.4 million pounds of cotton. By 1860 they cultivated almost two billion. Sparked by higher quotas and the terror of the whip, individual productivity increased 400 percent.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture
THE EXPLOITATION of SLAVERY through the 13th Amendment and UNJUST mass incarceration, remain America's longest, most sickening, modern humanitarian crisis. These issues were CAUSED by the Federal Government and remain a crisis because of the Government. Decades of inaction from Congress and American legislators can no longer be tolerated. The WALL STREET financial institutions that support for-profit private prisons, which spend millions LOBBYING against justice reform; AND, the CORPORATIONS that KNOWINGLY exploit inhumane harsh Enslaved prison LABOR and the racially oppressive legal system, must acknowledge their wrongdoing, and JOIN the calling for FREEDOM and JUSTICE.
The American Federal Government, and all other Guilty Corporations and Financial Institutions involved in
EXPLOITING the 13th Amendment SLAVERY loophole from 1865, must be held accountable for Crimes Against Humanity. Freedom and Justice must be served by Congress.
The Evil 13th Amendment Slavery loophole, which has already harmed, Enslaved, and taken the lives of millions, must officially be abolished. Congress again has a moral and clear constitutional legal obligation to uphold "Due Process" and "Equal Protection of the Laws" for all American citizens who currently remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in violent prisons because of the corrupt, fraudulent, racist "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" laws that blatantly continue to violate the basic constitutional and human rights of American citizens.
AMERICAN citizens MUST exercise their fundamental constitutional rights to PETITION the Government for a redress of grievances and to HOLD institutions, which PROFIT from UNJUST incarceration and the EXPLOITATION of SLAVERY through the 13th Amendment loophole, ACCOUNTABLE.
THIS IS AMERICA: A country founded off of the mass genocide of indigenous people and Enslavement of Black people, this is the painful sad unfortunate reality of America's Exploitative Prison Slavery system today, which has evolved since the start of the 13th Amendment. The 13th Amendment did not really end Slavery, it just moved it behind bars in American prisons with immediate unjust incarceration and oppressive mass police arrests. American capitalism, major businesses, along with critical infrastructure and railroads, as well as many other American landmarks like the White House and US Capitol, were created and built off of Slavery and the Brutal Exploitation of Black human beings. We can never forget the horrible evil eras of American history and must always remember the moral responsibility we have as American citizens to speak out for what is right and to demand true Justice and Freedom now. Congress has a moral and clear constitutional legal obligation to end Slavery and to make a true reality "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for every single American citizen who currently remains wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved behind prison bars because of the corrupt, fraudulent, unconstitutional, racist "War On Drugs" and cruel, inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" that blatantly continue to violate human rights. Freedom and Justice must be served now by Congress.
FROM THE BEGINNING of American Slavery with that first disturbing Evil boat arrival on that Virginia port in August 1619, to the immoral Evil dehumanizing "3/5" constitutional clause, to unjust prison incarceration and Enslavement through inhumane "Black Codes", "Chain Gangs", "Convict Leasing", to the United States Supreme Court's egregious "Separate But Equal" ruling justifying segregation, to the cruel horrifying sickening Evil "Jim Crow" lynching era in which Black people were regularly murdered and hung from trees, merely for being Black, Americans must find the courage to stand in firm solidarity against unconstitutional racist laws of the past that are undeniably continuing to cause unjust incarceration and Enslavement. The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865 must finally end. It is a tragic painful humanitarian crisis that must be addressed by Congress right now. Because now is the time to make real the supposed founding promises of the United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence, to show that all men [and women] are created equal [no matter the color of their skin], that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men... There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz, and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and any others.
Harry Anslinger, a violent supporter of lynching and also the 1st Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930-1962, pictured above in center, starts the unconstitutional racist war on Marijuana in order to further violently criminalize and oppress Black and Brown people, setting the dangerous harmful precedent for allowing racially oppressive American drug policy, that fundamentally violates human rights, to exist. America still struggles with the immoral "War on Drugs" and fraudulent corrupt racist prohibition of Marijuana which continue to unjustly incarcerate and ultimately Enslave American citizens. Simply put, the truth is, there is a great amount of CLEAR irrefutable disturbing evidence that "Mandatory Minimums" continue to inflict cruel, inhumane, and unconstitutional punishments that blatantly violate basic human rights, further worsening the humanitarian crises of unjust incarceration and the Evil Exploitation of SLAVERY through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865.
President Nixon's Top Domestic Policy Advisor Admits They Lied About The Effects Of Marijuana And That The "War On Drugs" Was Purposefully Designed To Criminalize Black People
You want to know what this was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
John Ehrlichman (bottom left), President Nixon's White House Counsel Policy Chief, on the reality of the "War on Drugs" in 1994.
THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR: The United States Federal Government lied about marijuana to commit more crimes against humanity. In the same way Harry Anslinger lied about marijuana, the Nixon administration also lied again about marijuana in order to further criminalize and oppress Black communities with the 1971 Controlled Substances Act. John Ehrlichman's confession serves as a stark reminder of the unjust motives behind the "War On Drugs." In clear combination with the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole from 1865 and with unconstitutional immoral "Mandatory Minimums" that again continue to violate basic human rights because they continue to inflict cruel and inhumane punishments for trivial things and marijuana possession, these damningly Evil policies from the past continue to have a devastating impact on communities throughout the country, primarily in States that have a longstanding history of abusing powers to enforce racist inhumane corrupt Evil laws so that American Slavery can continue to be preserved behind prison bars.
THE unconstitutional, fraudulent, corrupt, racist "War On Drugs" and unconstitutional cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" remain the drivers of unjust criminalization, unjust incarceration, and Enslavement through the "13th" Slavery loophole, which thousands of companies continue to exploit for profit and labor. Additionally, the inhumane corrupt "War On Drugs" has also resulted in mass unjust disenfranchisement preventing millions from voting. The American Federal Government has egregiously violated the constitutional and human rights of millions of American citizens over the many decades. People struggling with real harmful drug addictions, that is fentanyl, crack, heroin, meth, and any others that can result in fatal overdose, deserve accessible medical health rehabilitation, not lifelong imprisonment and Slavery.
It is time to END the fraudulent, corrupt, unconstitutional, racist prohibition of Marijuana, which for too long, has acted as State Sponsored Racial Oppression at the Federal, State, and Local level, WRONGFULLY violating the constitutional and human rights of MILLIONS of Americans over the many decades. FREEDOM and JUSTICE must be served now for ALL who remain WRONGFULLY incarcerated, disenfranchised, and Enslaved in prison. CONGRESS must uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws." The END must come for "Mandatory Minimums", the "War On Drugs", and "13th" SLAVERY.
JUSTICE must be served. Congress must uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all American citizens who remain unjustly incarcerated and Enslaved because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums." Enough is enough. Because no person deserves to die Enslaved in violent prison because of an unjust punishment inflicted by corrupt Evil American laws. The Federal Government lied about marijuana to commit more crimes against humanity and the "War On Drugs" and "Mandatory Minimums" once again have certainly worsened the humanitarian crises of unjust incarceration and the Evil Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole behind American prison bars since 1865. American citizens must be able to reconcile with the simple honest brutal fact that American Slavery never ended, but instead moved to prisons with the Evil "13th" Slavery loophole and "Black Codes", "Chain Gangs", "Convict Leasing", cruel, unconstitutional, inhumane laws. Slavery is, again, still very much alive today through the painfully clear human rights violations of the unconstitutional corrupt racist "War On Drugs" and damningly inhumane "Mandatory Minimums", and it is up to the people of America to do something about it. It is quite a damning tragic moral issue that 21st century American lawyers and judges still continue to regularly cite "slave cases, that is cases involving human property" in modern legal practice, when unjust incarceration and the Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole still clearly have not ended and continue to plague American society, destroying families and human lives. No longer can the American citizen remain silent. These humanitarian crises must finally end. Freedom and Justice must be served by Congress. American Slavery must end for real this time. Congress must END the Exploitation of "13th" Slavery and uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for all citizens who remain wrongfully incarcerated, disenfranchised, exploited, and Enslaved because of the unconstitutional, racist "War On Drugs" and inhumane cruel "Mandatory Minimums." The Federal Government must be held accountable for enforcing policies that blatantly violate the most fundamental human rights.
WITH marijuana's growing $64 billion legal industry and with its substantial medical benefits clearly confirmed by doctors and the scientific community, marijuana is undeniably safer and healthier than both alcohol and tobacco, and it is time that Congress, the Federal Government, and Drug Enforcement Agency start treating it that way. Congress must end the racist fraudulent marijuana prohibition and the corrupt immoral unconstitutional "War on Drugs" government campaign that has disenfranchised and unjustly caged and Enslaved millions of mostly Black and Brown American citizens in violent prisons over the many decades. Marijuana is legal in Washington DC, the capital of America, and a person over 21 is allowed to possess up to two ounces and grow up to six plants. Enough is enough. We all know that the Federal Government lied about marijuana to commit more crimes against humanity. Freedom and Justice must be served. Congress must stop enforcing Evil unconstitutional policies from the past and must act immediately to stop American states from continuing to sentence people to die Enslaved in prison for marijuana possession and other trivial non-violent offenses. Absolutely no one, no matter what the color of their skin might be, deserves to serve a life sentence of forced labor for 1 gram of marijuana. "Due Process" and "Equal Protection of the Laws" must be upheld by Congress. Justice and Freedom must be served to all citizens who have received cruel inhumane unconstitutional punishments and who remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in America.
AMERICA has disturbingly spent more than 1 trillion dollars enforcing the racially oppressive, corrupt, unjust "War On Drug" era policies that clearly violate fundamental human and constitutional rights. As a direct result there are now between 70 and 100 million American citizens living with "criminal" records today, and America has incarcerated and Enslaved the most people in the world. Unjust legal policies and racially biased enforcement have in fact perpetuated egregious systemic, disturbingly harmful inequalities throughout the entire nation, and having the slightest criminal misdemeanor or arrest on record makes life and having access to employment, housing, education, public assistance, credit, and much more, significantly harder. Freedom and constitutional legal justice must be served for all citizens who currently remain unjustly incarcerated, disenfranchised, exploited and Enslaved behind prison bars. American citizens must demand that Congress and the American Federal Government immediately end the immoral unconstitutional "War On Drug" era policies and the racist marijuana prohibition. Congress has a legal obligation to uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws." The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865 must officially end.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL "Mandatory Minimum" sentencing laws disproportionately incarcerate, harm, and Enslave mostly Black and Brown American citizens. Oppressive and clearly inhumane "Mandatory Minimum" sentencing laws have gone unchecked for decades and continue to blatantly violate the 8th Amendment, (the constitutional protection against "cruel and unusual" punishments) because they continue to inflict harsh unjust cruel life sentences for trivial non-violent things and marijuana possession. Whether it is a life sentence of forced labor, without the possibility of parole, for 1 gram of marijuana, or whether it is a life sentence in prison for a few grams of marijuana, or whether it is a life sentence for stealing a slice of pizza, or whether it is a life sentence for stealing a bicycle, or a life sentence for a disabled American army veteran growing medicinal marijuana plants, absolutely no human being, no matter what the color of their skin might be, deserves to die locked in a cage Enslaved forever because of racist, corrupt, unjust, unconstitutional American laws. This is the painfully grim truth about the corrupt American legal system. Too many people have received cruel unjust punishments and remain wrongfully incarcerated, exploited, disenfranchised, and Enslaved in violent prison because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" that blatantly violate human rights. Immediate reform from Congress and the Federal Government is necessary now to protect future American generations and to reunite families with their loved ones.
Freedom and Justice is long overdue.
CONGRESS and the Federal Government, along with financial institutions, corporations, universities, politicians, and American citizens, must all collectively condemn the Evil 13th Amendment Slavery loophole, unjust cruel incarceration, and the racist "War On Drugs" fraudulent marijuana prohibition that have been unjustly incarcerating and Enslaving mostly Black and Brown Americans at a truly unprecedented, extreme level, over the many decades. Racial dehumanization continues to remain the defining feature of America's corrupt racially oppressive drug policies, its unconstitutional sentencing laws, and Exploitative Slavery prisons.
AMERICAN citizens must spearhead the effective national movement to finally end the immoral Evil Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865, to end unjust mass incarceration, to end the corrupt unconstitutional "WAR ON DRUGS" and the fraudulent racist marijuana prohibition that were implemented by former members of the American Federal Government to criminalize, incarcerate, disenfranchise, and to further exploit, oppress, and Enslave Black people. The United States Federal Government continues to commit crimes against humanity against its own citizens by enforcing Evil laws of the past. The people in the United States of America have a critical role to play in ending unconstitutional inhumane policy that destroys families and inflicts brutal lifelong suffering and generational poverty and trauma. The role of the citizen is peaceful non-violent resistance, exercising constitutional rights for Freedom, Justice, and Liberation from inhumane cruel laws. Congress must hear the calling from the American people to end Slavery and to uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" for citizens who remain unjustly incarcerated and Enslaved.
BECAUSE the American citizen could never forget American History or the words written in the 1776 Declaration of Independence, the fundamental founding document of the United States of America, which says clearly: "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." To know that those words were written prior to the current 21st century sickening Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole, to know in fact that those founding American words were written during the Time of when it was legal to buy, own, trade, sell, murder, rape, chain, traumatically abuse, and work Black human beings to death as property, then how incredibly disturbing and shameful it is to see and to know how the humanitarian crises of unjust mass incarceration and corrupt evolved methods of Slavery continue to still plague American society in the year 2024. The United States Federal Government must be held accountable for all crimes against humanity. The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865 must finally end. Congress must serve true Freedom and Justice now. "Due process" and "equal protection of the laws" must be upheld for all American citizens who currently remain unjustly incarcerated, disenfranchised, exploited and Enslaved behind prison bars because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs", "Mandatory Minimums", and Evil "13th" Slavery loophole.
Slavery MUST be abolished for real. UNJUST incarceration must END.
MARIJUANA and "Mandatory Minimum" sentencing reform are at the center of the pursuit for Racial Justice and Freedom in the United States of America. In an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) research report, "A Tale of Two Countries: Racially Targeted Arrests in the Era of Marijuana Reform," the ACLU delves into marijuana related arrests spanning 2010 to 2018, scrutinizing disparities based on race at the national, state, and county levels. In an update to their publication, "The War on Marijuana in Black and White," which analyzed arrests from 2001 to 2010 showing that there were over 8 million marijuana arrests with one every 37 seconds, it is clear that the racist, oppressive, unconstitutional "War On Drugs" marijuana prohibition is still ongoing, and far from over.
OVER 6 MILLION arrests took place between 2010 and 2018, with Black American individuals continuing to face an almost 4x higher likelihood of arrest in every state for marijuana possession compared to White individuals, even where marijuana has been legalized. In 2018 alone, there were an estimated 692,965 marijuana arrests — the vast majority of which (89.6%) were for simple possession. Ongoing and Troubling Racial Inequalities in Marijuana Possession Arrests Persist Across the Entire Country, With No Improvement Observed Since 2010: In some states Black people were up to six, eight, or almost 10 times more likely to be arrested, and in 31 states, racial disparities were actually larger in 2018 than they were in 2010. Even in states where marijuana was legalized or decriminalized, racial disparities in arrests persist, Black Americans are significantly more likely to be arrested, and insufficient data collection hinders a comprehensive understanding of racial disparities in marijuana-related arrests among Latinos. The fact of the matter remains that the Federal Government lied about marijuana to commit more crimes against humanity and inhumane "Mandatory Minimums" continue to brutally inflict unjust cruel life punishments and Enslave American citizens behind prison bars for trivial things and simple marijuana possession. The American citizen must urge Congress to act now.
WITH nearly 40% of law enforcement agencies around the country failing to report their data to the FBI national crime statistic database in 2021, the true real number of people who have been wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in prisons since the beginning of the 13th Amendment Slavery loophole, is most likely significantly much higher than what is already estimated to be known in the very high millions. Enough is enough.
Congress has a constitutional legal obligation to uphold "due process" and "equal protection of laws" for all citizens who remain wrongfully incarcerated, disenfranchised, and Enslaved in violent prisons because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums." Freedom and Justice must be served now. The Slavery loophole must finally be abolished.
AMERICANS must have the painfully honest conversation about unjust incarceration, oppressive unconstitutional laws, and modern Slavery in the United States of America. It is important to acknowledge that profiting off of an unjust inhumane system that has been intentionally designed to criminalize and exploit human beings with inhumane policy, is corrupt, wrong, and Evil. It is an absolute disgrace that the "13th" Slavery loophole continues to be exploited in the year 2024 and that current American forced labor Slavery prison programs violate the most fundamental human rights. The 14th Amendment of the American Constitution explicitly says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Congress has a moral and constitutional legal obligation to abolish Slavery for real and to uphold "due process" and "equal protection of the laws." The current evidence of human rights violations is tragically disturbing, and to know that all of these modern humanitarian crises evolved after "Chattel" Slavery and all of those awful terrible Evils, is even more disturbing.
How many more millions of human lives need to be lost to Slavery and corrupt unjust Evil laws that blatantly violate human rights? Who will speak the truth in America and stand up for what is right and just? Who will say that American Slavery must end for real this time? Who will stand up for "due process" and "equal protection of the laws" in the pursuit for Justice, Freedom, Liberation, and Peace?
"Equal Justice Under Law": Congress and the American Federal Government must clearly acknowledge all of these grave injustices publicly and develop a robust strategic plan that will finally address these humanitarian crises with real action. Freedom and Justice must be served for all citizens who remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved in the United States of America because of the unconstitutional "War On Drugs" and cruel inhumane "Mandatory Minimums." The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole must end. Surely by now you have realized the importance of these phrases and repeating them over and over until Freedom and Justice is served. Now is the time for bold revolutionary American action. Racial injustice must be met with relentless meaningful civil non-violent resistance. Exercise your constitutional rights and tell Congress to uphold "Due Process" and "Equal Protection of the Laws" for all American citizens who remain wrongfully incarcerated and Enslaved.
BECAUSE NOW IS ALWAYS THE TIME to do the right thing. Because now is the time to end Slavery in America. Because too many millions of human lives have already been lost. Because no longer can the American stay silent. We all have the responsibility to let our voice be heard and to demand Freedom and Justice. Congress has a moral and legal obligation to abolish unconstitutional racist Evil laws from the past and to reunite families that have been critically harmed. The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment Loophole since 1865 must officially end. FREEDOM and JUSTICE must be served. Although finding the courage to speak out can be challenging, it is important that Congress hears your voice. Sign and Share the Petition to End Slavery in the United States of America. Contact your senator, contact your representative, register to vote, exercise your constitutional rights. We must do the right thing and demand Freedom and Change now. Only through the collective commitment to Justice, and the Truth, can we form a more perfect union and peaceful equitable society when American Slavery finally ends for real.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Declaration of Independence, 1776
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, November 19th 1863
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
