Former Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell brushed off our concerns, saying Americans worried about Medicaid cuts will just “get over it.” 😡

And today, we reaffirm our commitment to justice for all and work towards ending slavery in the U.S. In the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, "nobody's free until everybody's free." That remains true for the nearly 2 million people who are enduring forced labor while incarcerated. The fight continues!
