160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

What if, on #CyberMonday, we take the $$ we WOULD have given to Amazon, Target, Starbucks, WaPo, etc and used it to subscribe to independent media?
We could call it #MediaMonday and it would change the lives of independent journalists.
