SUMMARY:Amend the 13th: A Conversation about Ending Legalized Slavery in the United States and Abolishing the Prison System As We Know It
DESCRIPTION:AMEND THE 13TH is a national call for fresh thinking about criminal law and policy which places at its center the violence\, degradation\, trauma and dehumanization inflicted on communities that are targeted by our “criminal injustice system.” Now is the time for those who believe in democratic justice and full citizenship for all Americans to demand that the 13th Amendment’s Punishment Clause be removed from the U.S. Constitution.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 13th Amendment\, laws emerging from its ratification (namely the Black Codes)\, and the resultant social order have been used as tools to enforce discrimination based on class\, race\, place\, and gender. It is clear that there is a relationship between justice matters and racial constructions about White superiority and Black inferiority\, and that this relationship fuels the exploitation and disproportionate incarceration of Black and Brown bodies. Moreover\, the relationship limits the enjoyment of all the rights and attributes of citizenship by people of color in general and formerly incarcerated people in particular. \nCitizens Against Recidivism\, Inc. and faculty and staff at Columbia University\, in coalition with other organizations and individuals\, have organized a panel discussion with experts to begin the conversation about this process for criminal justice change. The goal of the dialogue is to develop strategies that will increase public awareness\, fuel public discourse\, and build momentum to amend the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution. \nRegistration required: RSVP Here!
