Dear friends, these are two versions of the same bill. It does away with the exception clause in the 13th Amendment. We are asking that you call 202-224-3121 to reach each of your two Senators and ask them to cosponsor SJR 81. Then, call your one House member at the same number and ask her or him to cosponsor HJR 104.
The result of this constitutional amendment will be good jobs and good wages for people incarcerated.
