CALIFORNIA PROP 6 CAMPAIGN AIMS TO END FORCED LABOR IN STATE PRISONS
SACRAMENTO, CA – Proposition 6 in California aims to abolish involuntary servitude in state prisons, according to an EIN Presswire story, quoting diverse coalitions and leaders.
The article states Jamilia Land, co-founder of Abolish Slavery National Network, said, “We are at a critical juncture in California’s history and this an opportunity for Californians to stand up for justice, fairness, and human dignity by ending a practice that has no place in our state.”
EIN said the “campaign is calling on all California voters to…rally to officially launch the campaign for Prop. 6, and “Remove Involuntary Servitude as Punishment for Crime Amendment,” (taking) a “historic step in abolishing involuntary servitude by voting YES on Proposition 6.”
Supporters said the measure closes a loophole in California’s constitution, which still “permits involuntary servitude as a punishment for crimes, aligning the state with others that have already enacted similar reforms,” adding, “California’s existing framework, which allows involuntary servitude under the guise of penal labor, has come under increasing scrutiny.”
