Cornel West for President 2024

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In these trying times, when the political arena is starkly divided by those who prioritize profit over our people and this beautiful planet, we find ourselves at a crossroads. The choice they present us with – akin to selecting between civil war and genocide, between embracing fear or harboring hate, between fostering hostility or breeding indifference – is a false dichotomy that seeks to undermine the very fabric of our collective humanity.

My heart grows heavy as we bear witness to the relentless march of aggression, greed, and exploitation, leaving indelible scars on the souls of our global family.

Summon the Courage of a True Progressive

I invite you, with open arms and an open heart, to envision a new paradigm with us.

Let's collectively cultivate a vision that's truly progressive – one that honors our fellow human beings, both at home and across the globe.

  • Progress, my friends, begins with a resolute rejection of these false dichotomies. It's rooted in division, hate, fear, and greed. Together, we stand united in our commitment to the universal truths of equality, the inherent dignity of every human life, social justice, and the power of goodwill.

  • Progress is about imagining the realm of possibilities – not confining ourselves to what the status quo dictates. It's a societal commitment to push forward in solidarity until every last one of us is free from the chains of injustice, exploitation, or violence.

  • Progress demands that we hold our leaders accountable, regardless of their political stripes, especially when the stakes involve the lives and futures of entire communities and cultures.

  • Progress requires an outright rejection of cynicism and the sense of futility, refusing to engage in the toxic practice of choosing the “lesser evil” when all options laid before us involve the dehumanization and suffering of our brothers and sisters – whether they're at our militarized borders, within our neglected neighborhoods, or victims of our deadly interventions abroad.

  • Progress will not allow us to be misled into viewing independent voices as adversaries. The rhetoric that urges us not to “split the vote” between two fundamentally flawed options is not the language of the liberated or the brave.

  • Progress means we move past the tired fears of “splitting the vote.” A new generation of voters is outright rejecting these false choices, and disenfranchised communities are now mobilizing to dismantle a system that has long failed to represent the interests of the people.

At this pivotal moment, both choices offered by the corporate-backed duopoly stand in stark opposition to the moral compass that guides most Americans.

In these moments of reflection, I humbly ask you to stand with us:

Say no to cynicism with $25
Reject hate with $50
Dismiss fear with $100
Renounce greed with $250
Oppose aggression with $250
Condemn genocide with $1000

In deep gratitude and unwavering solidarity,

Dr. Cornel West for President 2024
2024 Independent Presidential Candidate
