✊🏽 The Establishment of USASO: A New Front in the Fight Against Modern Slavery

In a nation that once declared liberty and justice for all, Slavery remains alive—hidden in plain sight. From forced prison labor to corporate profiteering off incarcerated Americans, the echoes of the 13th Amendment’s Slavery loophole still haunt our systems. In response to this enduring injustice, the United States Anti-Slavery Organization (USASO) was founded to shine a light on the darkness of legalized Slavery since 1865 and to mobilize a generation to finally bring it to an end.

🔥 Born From Truth, Built on Justice

The USASO was established by a collective of human rights activists, artists, students, and abolitionists who refused to stay silent while over 2 million Americans—disproportionately Black and Brown—remain imprisoned and exploited under the guise of "justice." For decades, efforts to address mass incarceration and prison labor were fragmented and underfunded. USASO emerged to unify the movement, serve as a modern-day abolitionist coalition, and educate the public on the legal and corporate systems sustaining slavery today. At its core, USASO exists to challenge the exception clause in the 13th Amendment—the very loophole that legally permits Slavery "as punishment for a crime." This language has enabled a vast prison-industrial complex to flourish, allowing more than 4,000 companies to benefit from unjust incarceration and forced labor behind bars. We also understand that Slavery exists in other places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, in which global technology companies knowingly exploit corruption, human trafficking, forced labor, and child Slaves who mine critical minerals like cobalt for a very dirty supply chain.

🕊️ Our Mission

USASO's mission is simple but urgent:

To abolish the Slavery exception clause in the U.S. Constitution, end unjust incarceration, and hold governments and corporations accountable for exploiting human rights violations in America and abroad.

This mission is carried out through five core pillars:

1. Public Education & Media: We seek to produce accessible digital media, investigative reports, and educational programming that expose the truth about modern Slavery and racial capitalism in America.

2. Legislative Advocacy: USASO works to mobilize citizens and lawmakers to support federal and state-level abolition amendments and most importantly to see true freedom and justice served with reforms that restore due process and human dignity.

3. Survivor Voices & Storytelling: Centering the experiences of formerly incarcerated and wrongfully convicted individuals, we uplift real stories of resilience and injustice through interviews, blogs, and public speaking events.

4. Youth Organizing & Civic Engagement: We empower students and young leaders to build abolitionist clubs on campuses and become informed citizens who support human rights-driven policy change.

5. Corporate Accountability: USASO investigates and exposes corporate entities that profit from unjust incarceration and prison slavery, pushing for divestment, transparency, and reparative justice.

   
   

📣 Why Now?

Because the time for half-measures is over. The 13th Amendment’s exception clause is not a relic of the past—it is an active weapon used by the state to perpetuate racial control and economic exploitation. As private prisons rake in billions and federal contractors rely on cheap incarcerated labor, USASO reminds America that slavery never ended—it evolved.
