Here are some suggested talking points:

  • Hello, My name is (state your name) and I live in [your City / County].

  • The 13th Amendment’s exception to slavery for those convicted of crimes, and the lack of protection in our state laws, allows for a form of modern-day slavery in our prisons.

  • As your constituent, I'm calling on you to support the 13th Forward package of 3 bills this session to end forced labor and slave-like conditions in New York prisons for good:

  1. The Prison Wage Act, S439B (Myrie) / A3596B (Gibbs)

  2. No Slavery In New York, S7282 (Myrie) / A7873 (Meeks)

  3. Commissary Bill, S1692 (Ramos) / A2592 (People-Stokes)

  • Passage of our bills is a matter of racial justice and economic justice.

  • Thank you for your time.

If no one answers your phone call, please leave a voicemail.
