Cornel West & Claudia De la Cruz Presidential Campaigns Announce Cooperation in Multiple States

In this moderated discussion between Cornel West/Melina Abdullah and the Vote Socialist campaign, the two progressive third party campaigns announce their agreement to cooperate in multiple states as they urge their supporters to vote for each other’s tickets in states where one has ballot status but the other does not. United by shared values like ending genocide and war, a deep commitment to Black liberation, and the determination to build an alternative outside the corporate two-party system, the Vote Socialist campaign and the West/Abdullah campaign demonstrate unprecedented cooperation in the upcoming election.

The Justice for All presidential campaign of Cornel West and Melina Abdullah, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s ticket of Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia, have announced an agreement to cooperate in a number of states. The Claudia/Karina campaign is calling on its supporters to vote for West and Abdullah in Alaska. In turn, West/Abdullah are calling on supporters to vote for Claudia and Karina in Florida, Hawai’i, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

In Alaska the West/Abdullah campaign has ballot status but De la Cruz and Garcia do not, while De la Cruz and Garcia have status in Florida, Hawai’i, New Mexico, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Because of undemocratic obstacles that third party candidates are subjected to that Democrats and Republicans are not, both campaigns have had to carry out massive petition-gathering efforts and then defend their ballot status in extensive and massively expensive court battles amid challenges brought by Democratic Party-affiliated lawyers. This agreement aims to maximize the ability of voters to send a clear message that they reject the twin parties of war, racism, and Wall Street.

About the Party for Socialism and Liberation:

Every injustice working people experience in society, boils down to the question of who has power. Under the current capitalist system, a tiny clique of rich bankers and CEOs have the power and will do anything to maintain it. We stand for socialism — a system where poor and working people hold political and economic power and use it to meet the needs of all people and to preserve the planet. A system that guarantees healthcare, education, childcare, housing and a living wage with union representation for all.

Join us in the ongoing fight. This is about more than one election or one campaign. It takes building an independent political organization. We are in over 90 cities across the United States and count with multinational and multigenerational leaders of key social movements engaged in the daily fight against exploitation and oppression and for the socialist reorganization of society.

About the Justice for All Party:

In an effort to directly confront the suppression of voter choice and participation by legacy political parties, Independent candidate for President of the United States, Dr. Cornel West, announced the establishment of the Justice For All Party (JFA). The party will primarily be utilized as a grassroots, people-powered vehicle to secure ballot access in specific states. Additionally, JFA will grow into a larger formation that galvanizes people-powered initiatives to promote transformational change beyond the 2024 election cycle. JFA provides a mechanism for our grassroots campaign to travel a path of least resistance that will require the fewest number of signatures to attain ballot access in states like California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Mexico, North Carolina, Washington and the District of Columbia.
