Cornel West for President

When we stand together, we can overcome.

Dear Friend,

We have some incredible news to share - despite facing a significant court challenge, the Georgia Secretary of State has officially qualified Dr. Cornel West and Dr. Melina Abdullah for the presidential ballot in Georgia! This is a monumental victory for our campaign and for everyone who believes in truth, justice, and love.

Dr. Cornel West captured the significance of this moment perfectly: "We are overjoyed by this decision, which not only upholds the democratic process but also reinforces the power of our collective voice. While challenges remain on the horizon, today’s victory reveals the strength of our grassroots commitment to truth, justice, and love."

However, while we celebrate this important step forward, we know that the fight is far from over. The Democratic Party may still challenge this decision in court, and we need your help to ensure that we can continue to defend our place on the ballot—not just in Georgia, but across the country.

Here's How You Can Help Keep Our Movement Strong:

1. Donate: We are gearing up for critical legal battles in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and every contribution empowers us to combat these anti-democratic tactics and champion the cause of the unheard. Your support is vital as we prepare to ensure our place on the ballots and fight for a fair electoral process.
2. Volunteer: Join our campaign as a volunteer and help us spread our message of truth, justice, and love across the nation. Your involvement is vital as we expand our reach and impact.
3. Spread the Word: Talk about our victory and the ongoing struggle against a system designed to marginalize alternative voices. Share our vision with your community and on social media to help break the hold of the two-party duopoly.

Fatimah, our lead volunteer in Georgia, shared how much this victory means: "It sends a message to the great people of this country that we are Warriors for Justice fighting for all including those who are left out and forgotten. The audacity of a Super PAC's attempts to take away our freedom to choose Dr. West and Dr. Abdullah whom we think is best is appalling. We will continue our fight for fairness and equity. We are like David up against a Goliath continuously preparing for battle. We are not backing down!"

Continuing the Fight for a True Democracy:

Our victories in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, and North Carolina are just the beginning. As we press forward with vigor, we face significant upcoming legal battles in Pennsylvania and Virginia. These challenges are crucial as we refuse to endorse or enable the troubling politics of those who compromise on human rights and democracy. Our campaign provides an alternative for those seeking to vote their conscience and desire change.

This is the moment to rally together and ensure that our campaign continues to gain momentum. We’ve secured our place on the ballot in Georgia, but we need your support to keep moving forward.

Your donation today will make a difference. Together, we can continue to fight for a democracy that works for everyone. Thank you for standing with us.

Together, we are making history.

The West/Abdullah campaign has the signatures and minor party nominations it needs to get on the ballot in 17 states. This includes 6 of the battleground states: Michigan, Georgia, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin and North Carolina. For more info, see our ballot access map.

Thank you for standing with us. 

In solidarity,
