About

The Children Yearn For The Mines is a catchphrase used in memes to satirically support the loosening of child labor laws that became a prominent political topic in early 2023 amid Republican states such as Arkansas, Iowa and Missouri lowering the legal working age to 14. The catchphrase was coined in early 2022 on Twitter / X via a tweet about Minecraft but later became more well-known for satirizing the repealing of child labor laws. In November 2024, the meme was referenced in the official trailer for A Minecraft Movie.
