Cornel West for President

When we stand together, we can overcome.

Dear John,

This campaign has always been about truth, justice, and breaking free from the stranglehold of corporate power over our democracy. Yet, as we’ve seen time and again, those who challenge the status quo face systemic suppression.

Across the country, Dr. Cornel West’s campaign has been unjustly removed from ballots in several states by the Democrat Party. This isn’t democracy—it’s bureaucracy weaponized to protect a two-party monopoly. Here’s what we’ve faced:

In many states, we exceeded signature requirements, only to see them scrutinized disproportionately and rejected on flimsy technicalities. State officials have used their positions to dismiss our paperwork, invalidate signatures, and stifle grassroots momentum.

This isn’t just about us. It’s about keeping any alternative voices off the ballot, leaving voters with a false choice between two corporate-backed parties.

As Dr. West has said:

"The greatest threat to democracy is not third-party candidates. It’s the suppression of democracy itself. The people deserve more than a broken two-party system propped up by billionaires and bureaucrats."

Despite exceeding signature requirements in multiple states, the system worked against us. This is a deliberate effort to tear down our movement and silence the voices of those who dare to demand justice.

But let this be clear: We are not giving up. This campaign was never just about one election. It’s about building a movement that lives on—through the creation of the Justice for All Party.

We cannot let them win. Today, we ask for your urgent help to cover remaining campaign expenses and ensure this movement continues. Your contribution will allow us to fight back and build the foundation for a new political future that truly represents the people.

This system was designed to exclude us, but we’ve proven time and again that people power cannot be suppressed. Together, we will rise above these challenges, stand against corruption, and forge a path to a just and equitable democracy.

Thank you for standing with Dr. Cornel West in this fight for ending genocide. Every dollar brings us closer to making history. Please consider supporting our historic fight to build the Justice for All Party.

In solidarity,

West/Abdullah 2024 Campaign Team
