Give Kentucky a Vote on Legalized Slavery

Elected Officials

Slavery is legal in KY, as per a clause in Section 25 of our Constitution. Many Kentuckians, when they learn about it, would like a chance to vote for a constitutional change. Would you like an opportunity to say whether slavery can be legal in KY?

We the undersigned concerned citizens of Kentucky, on behalf of the formerly incarcerated, directly impacted, and currently incarcerated community, ask you to remove the slavery exception clause from Section 25 of our Kentucky Constitution, which represents an historical injustice and crimes against humanity. You decisive action is needed to ensure that our constitution reflects values that more accurately support a lawfully ordered society. Please support the removal of the slavery and involuntary servitude exception clause from our constitution. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
