Next week, two American states will decide whether slavery should be abolished with no exceptions.

Hear from the experts about how legacies of historical slavery continue today and what the outcome of these votes could mean for the country:

• Katharine Bryant, Director of Operations at Walk Free, a leading anti-slavery nonprofit that publishes the Global Slavery Index. For the first time, the latest GSI takes an in-depth look at the 13th Amendment’s exception clause and its role perpetuating forced labor. 

• Jeronimo Aguilar, Policy Analyst at Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, a Californian non-profit which organizes and advocates for communities impacted by the criminal justice system and co-sponsor of California’s Prop 6 [1] ballot measure.
