United States Anti-Slavery Organization

We believe that education is the foundation of liberation. Through community dialogue, historical truth-telling, and civic literacy initiatives, we help people understand the connections between America’s past and present injustices — from slavery’s constitutional loophole to the modern prison system and economic inequality. Knowledge empowers change, and every informed citizen becomes a catalyst for progress. Community organization is essential because it transforms isolated voices into a unified force capable of achieving meaningful social change. When people come together with a shared purpose, they can confront injustice at its roots — whether it is systemic racism, mass incarceration, or the exploitation of vulnerable communities. Community organization builds structure, direction, and collective strength. It ensures that no one is fighting alone and that every individual contribution becomes part of a larger movement that can influence culture, policy, and public consciousness. Strong organizations knit people together and create space for healing, empowerment, and long-term vision. Beyond mobilizing people, community organization helps build sustainable systems of support and leadership. It allows communities to define their own needs and solutions rather than relying on institutions that historically failed them. Effective organization cultivates new leaders, strengthens inter-group relationships, and creates platforms where survivors, advocates, and allies can share their stories safely and powerfully. It becomes the backbone of any successful justice movement — not just raising awareness, but building the infrastructure required to dismantle oppressive systems and replace them with structures rooted in equity, dignity, and humanity.

Our work is grounded in peaceful civic engagement. We train and mobilize individuals to participate actively in democracy — through voting, advocacy, public service, and organizing — with respect, compassion, and courage. By bringing people together across differences, we promote unity, accountability, and a shared commitment to human rights and dignity for all. Peaceful civic engagement is a powerful tool for transforming society because it channels people’s passion, pain, and purpose through nonviolent action that demands accountability while protecting human dignity. It proves that justice movements do not need violence to confront violent systems; they need organization, consistency, and courage. Peaceful civic action — voting, advocacy, demonstrations, petitions, policy engagement, and public education — becomes a way to reclaim power from institutions that once ignored or oppressed entire communities. It builds legitimacy, public trust, and long-term change that cannot be undone with force. Engaging peacefully in civic life also strengthens democracy itself. When people participate actively and intentionally, especially those whose voices are often silenced, they expand the moral compass of the nation. Peaceful civic engagement invites coalition-building across communities, generations, and identities, creating shared purpose in the fight for freedom, justice, and equality. It pushes society toward human rights–centered solutions, helping dismantle systems of violence while uplifting the values of compassion, due process, and universal dignity. It ensures that the path toward abolition and reform is not only effective — but righteous, inclusive, and sustainable.

For Freedom and Justice USASO raises critical public awareness of the hidden systems that perpetuate racial and economic injustice. We expose the truth about how corporations, laws, and institutions sustain, exploit, and profit from modern forms of Slavery and exploitation — and we inspire communities to demand change and see justice be served. Through art, journalism, education, civic action, and survivor leadership engagement we transform awareness into movement. We envision an America and a planet Earth where justice is not conditional, freedom is not selective, and equality is not postponed. Our mission is to make that vision real — through education, peace, and the power of an informed, united human species. American Slavery must end for real. The Exploitation of Slavery through the 13th Amendment loophole since 1865 must finally end. There are too many people who remain unjustly incarcerated and Enslaved in prisons because of the "War On Drugs" and cruel "Mandatory Minimums" that have inflicted inhumane punishments. Over 4100+ corporations exploit and profit from the cruel corrupt American prison Slavery systems. Additionally, nearly 75% of global cobalt, which is a mineral that is used to power all of our smart phones, computers, electric batteries, come from exploited Child Slaves in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. These are merely two examples of Slavery that exist where freedom and justice must be served, where abolition must occur. If it is Slavery, then we encourage citizens of countries to organize their local chapter within their country, to publicly advocate and support the USASO, and to join the modern global abolition movement. No matter who you are or where you come from, you have a voice and a critical role to play in the fight against modern Slavery to see Freedom and Justice be served.
