Abdullah, a co-founder of Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles, said she and West 'want to disrupt the narrative that you have only two choices,' referring to Biden and Trump.
Independent presidential candidate Cornel West named Cal State Los Angeles professor Melina Abdullah as his running mate on Wednesday, saying that her commitment to social justice and to prioritizing the needs of poor Americans embodied the values of his candidacy. “I wanted to to run with someone who would put a smile on the face of Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr. from the grave,” West said on Tavis Smiley's Los Angeles radio program.
Biden is leading the world toward World War III,' West told Smiley, with whom he co-hosted a radio program a decade ago. 'That's the choice you have if you only are tied to the duopoly. That's what it comes down to. We are providing an alternative. ... We ain't on nobody's plantation.' In recent years, Abdullah has spoken out against police shootings and increases in the Los Angeles Police Department budget.
