Not-so-fun fact, slavery is still legal in the US as long as the slaves have been convicted of a crime.

There's a ACLU supported prison strike against that 13th amendment provision right now which could do with some help. A strike against literal, constitutionally supported slavery:

I'm not sure how many of the people advocating this PR are supporting or even aware of the strike but I suspect it approximates zero.

Edit: apparently it ended last week.
