News: ACA 8 is now Proposition 6 !!

State Constitutional Amendment to End Involuntary Servitude
in CA Moves to November Ballot

Last week the California Secretary of State assigned numbers to several California propositions that will be on the ballot this November. 
Formerly known as Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 8 (ACA 8), this bill addresses involuntary servitude in California prisons. The Assembly measure passed the California Senate with strong bipartisan support.  These actions allow voters to now correct this bastion of slavery by voting YES on PROPOSITION 6. If passed it would change the California Constitution to ban forced labor in any form by ending the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s practice of disciplining any incarcerated person for refusing a forced work assignment.

Stay tuned as the campaign unfolds. Meanwhile updates are posted at the website for Legal Services for Prisoners with Children
