The Abolish Slaevry National Network (ASNN) is a national coalition fighting to abolish constitutional slavery and involuntary servitude in all forms, for all people that envisons a United States where all people, without exception, are free from slavery and involuntary servitude and where all people are protected by their state and federal constitution. 


For more than a century, our federal and state constitutions have preserved the right to enslave people as punishment for a crime. By passing the 13th Amendment, they created a loophole to allow the practice of slavery to continue in another form, mass incarceration.
