Greetings FAM! My name is Ronald and I am an organizer working with Decarcerate Louisiana. I see that we all share the same understanding that the legislative intent of the 13th Amendment was to prolong slavery, not abolish it. The government would be fixed so that it would not only own the new institution, but even more so that it could systematically marginalize, criminalize, and imprison their primary subjects. Hence the shift from the plantation system to the prison system! More importantly, it is our highest duty to protect and serve the interest of our people. Our calling is to abolish all practices and conditions of servitude that threaten the humanity and dignity of our person(s). I propose that we seek to create a task force of authors, educators, film producers, organizers, activists, and others concerned about this historic problem to work on a consensus and statement documenting the legislative intent of the 13th Amendment! It would be great if we all can give this proposal serious attention and consideration in the interest of justice and fairness to the people. We want our Task Force to find the facts for the people and in favor of humanity! So while our movement for prisoners human rights continue to grow from inside to outside the prison system, we will have agencies moving in the political process with our demands for justice. How about bringing a Task Force into our movement to help us draw up the proper report and supporting documents for redress of our grievances? Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter! In solidarity, Ronald.
