A State's Humane Decision to Choose Dignity Over Modern-Day Slavery.
In 1908 we drove a Model T. In 2024 we drive a Model S. How can we recognize a need to evolve the automobile we drive, but not the laws that govern our lives? It's past time. Slavery isn't the answer” - Samual Nathaniel BrownLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- On the November 2024 ballot, California voters will have the opportunity to vote on Proposition 6 , a groundbreaking amendment aimed at abolishing involuntary servitude as punishment for crime from the state's constitution. This measure, if passed, would remove outdated and unjust language that allows for forced labor in the state's penal system, aligning California with a growing movement across the nation to end such practices.
Proposition 6 has been championed by Sam Brown , the founder of the non-profit organization 10pprogram, which has been at the forefront of advocating for criminal justice reform and human rights. Brown, a tireless advocate for equity and justice, believes this measure is critical to correcting historical injustices that have disproportionately affected marginalized communities, particularly people of color.
"Proposition 6 is not just about removing archaic language from our laws; it's about standing up for human dignity and ensuring that our state's justice system reflects our values," said Sam Brown. "This is a moral imperative for California, and I encourage every voter to stand with us in making history this November."
Proposition 6 will join other states such as Vermont, Oregon, and Colorado, which have successfully passed similar measures to remove exceptions for involuntary servitude from their constitutions. The campaign for Prop 6 has garnered widespread support from civil rights organizations, labor unions, and faith-based communities across California.
Key Information:
What: Vote on Proposition 6 to remove involuntary servitude as punishment for crime from California's constitution.
When: November 2024
Why: To align California's legal framework with modern values of justice and equality, and to end the practice of forced labor in the state's penal system.
