In today's society, the fight against racism and inequality remains a pressing issue that demands our immediate attention. It is crucial to have leaders who are committed to uplifting all American citizens — regardless of their background, race, or abilities. Our campaign has emerged with a vision for change that prioritizes people over politics and money — a refreshing perspective in today’s turbulent political landscape.

America stands at a crossroads — not between red and blue, but between a broken past and a more inclusive future. The statistics tell a clear story: while racial minorities make up nearly 40% of our population, they hold only 23% of Congressional seats. In communities where the two-party system holds its tightest grip, voter turnout among minorities drops by 17%.
This system wasn’t designed for inclusion. When only two voices dominate our political conversation, the unique challenges facing different racial communities get lost — or worse, ignored. My experiences growing up in foster care and serving in the military showed me firsthand how systems often fail the people they weren’t built to serve.
Real Solutions, Not Empty Promises
Our campaign is centered around bold, tangible solutions — not more empty promises:
Ranked-choice voting to ensure diverse voices are represented
Community-based election oversight boards with diverse, mandated membership
Economic opportunity zones for historically marginalized communities
Eliminating partisan gerrymandering that dilutes minority voting power
These are not talking points — they are building blocks for a better America. They are the beginning of a framework where diversity is our strength, not a dividing line.
“The two-party system has failed communities of color for generations across America. It’s time for a new approach that actually listens to our voices and represents our diverse experiences.”— From listening sessions with voters nationwide
A Movement Beyond Politics
We’re not just here to call out injustice — we’re here to build a future that brings all of us together.
Too often, we commemorate some of our most important holidays — like Independence Day, Juneteenth, and Martin Luther King Jr. Day — in isolation. We celebrate separately, even when the message should be universal.
This isn’t always intentional. It’s shaped by how we were raised, where we live, and what we’ve come to expect. But if we’re serious about fighting racism and inequality, we need to change that.
“These aren’t Black holidays or White holidays. They’re American achievements — and they should be honored as such. That’s what unity looks like.”— Benjamin Cobb
We must build a culture that embraces all of our shared American story — and celebrates freedom, justice, and progress together, not apart.
Real unity doesn’t come from ignoring our differences. It comes from honoring them, learning from them, and moving forward as one people.
