Slavery did not vanish, it changed its paperwork, its supply chains, and its hiding places. I sit down with Tristan Matthew Chen, director of the United States Anti-Slavery Organisation (USASO), to name what modern slavery looks like right now and why so many people never see it, even when it is tied to everyday life.
We dig into prison labour in the United States and the uncomfortable legal truth inside the 13th Amendment: slavery is banned except as punishment for a crime. Tristan Chen explains how that exception connects to unjust incarceration, policies like mandatory minimums and three strikes laws, and a prison economy where people can be forced to work for pennies or nothing. We also talk about the less visible costs, including predatory fees that make families pay to stay connected, and how corporate contracts can quietly profit from mass incarceration.
Then we widen the lens to human trafficking and forced labour globally, including cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a critical resource for batteries in mobile phones and laptops. Tristan Chen shares why USASO centres education, peaceful civic engagement, and survivor voices, and how he hopes to build local chapters that keep pressure on leaders to uphold due process and equal protection under the law.
If you care about modern slavery awareness, prison slavery, human trafficking, and ethical supply chains, this conversation will sharpen how you see the world and what you can do next. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review. What part of modern slavery do you think is most ignored today?

Teach me to live one day at a time
with courage love and a sense of pride.
Giving me the ability to love and accept myself
so I can go and give it to someone else.
Teach me to live one day at a time…..
