Get ready to witness a captivating saga of progressive politics as renowned activist-scholar Cornel West embarks on his independent journey toward the White House, alongside an equally illustrious running mate: Dr. Melina Abdullah.
A Force for Social Justice
Melina Abdullah, a visionary professor of Pan-African studies at Cal State L.A. and a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, joins West in his mission to shake up the political establishment and center the voices of marginalized communities.
“Dr. Abdullah’s unwavering commitment to uplifting the poor and working class makes her the perfect partner in our quest for transformative change,” declared West. “Her legacy of activism and scholarship would undoubtedly bring pride to icons like Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr.”
West’s Independent Path
West, a long-time advocate for Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaigns, has navigated a path independent of mainstream political parties. Having first run as a member of the People’s Party and Green Party, he has now set his sights on a non-partisan quest for the highest office.
A Shared Vision
West and Abdullah share a deep-seated belief in the urgency of addressing systemic inequality, economic disparity, and the urgent need for climate action. Their platform promises to put the American people first, empowering communities and restoring equity to all facets of society.
A Trailblazing Partnership
The alliance between West and Abdullah marks a historic moment in American politics. Their combined intellect, activism, and unwavering commitment to social justice present a formidable force for change.
Abdullah’s exceptional work advocating for marginalized communities and her role as a thought leader in the Black Lives Matter movement elevate the ticket’s message of liberation and unity. Together, they aim to inspire a new era of participatory democracy where the voices of the people guide the policies that shape their lives.
