CARE FOR ALL (CFA) Party -- and Movement

Dear Team,

Hi. I am re-sending this message to your Team (no response yet), because creating a Care For All (CFA) Party & movement, might be the only history-building way that would prevent Dr. West's precious INDEPENDENT candidacy from becoming an "also ran" marginal footnote in the history of the U.S. presidential campaigns of 2024. WHY?

Because such a Party could become a critically needed EFFECTIVE 3rd (or in fact 2nd) Party in this so-called "democracy" in America. 

The herein crude site (below) is what I developed for CFA last June: https://care-for-all-party.blogspot.com/.  

I would be delighted to provide more "praxis" information & historical CONTEXT.

Peace and justice,

Subject: Green Party's wounded egos and tired brand...CARE FOR ALL

To: Cornel West


June 15, 2023 -- Confidential


Dear brother Dr. West:

Hi/Salaam. As I have mentioned to you before, as things stand presently, the Green Party's wounded egos (and tired & unfairly marginalized "brand") will not allow the full actualization of the transformative movement that your critically needed Presidential candidacy envisions.

However, the old but well-meaning Green Party can be transformed by your charismatic leadership (i.e., your heart's  prophetic fire that can turn copper into gold) creating a revitalized new "3rd" party (and thus, an exciting social democratic movement), with the inherently intersectional title of CARE FOR ALL.

This is my suggested simple site for the Care For All (CFA) Party. It has some raw materials (derived from my many months at Occupy) for its party platform: https://care-for-all-party.blogspot.com/.

I am a sufi "monk" (or dervish), so I don't need any credit for the above. It is a humble gift for you, brother, for the sake of real justice and peace, on our deeply wounded Grandmother Earth.

I hope you hear my voice, brother.  

Ya Hu!

Summary

The purpose for creating this preliminary site (and its sub-pages) is to summarize the herein (humbly suggested) idea of forming a "Care For All (CFA) Party" -- and FRESH social democracy movement -- under the lovingly charismatic and moral leadership of brother Professor Dr. Cornel West. 

The CFA Party is proposed, so that Dr. West's CRITICALLY NEEDED candidacy for the President of the U.S. in 2024 would not be burdened by the baggage that the People's Party unfortunately carries; as noted by many lovers of peace and justice, and as reported by the respected media outlets that have been sampled, below. 

Thus, such an exciting and fresh CARE FOR ALL Party and ("intersectional") Movement) could potentially help to organize, effectively, and bring together several already existing American "3rd" parties, as well as many civil society organizations and smaller movements--all hungering for the kind of leadership that brother Cornel has embodied throughout his legendary life of public service.        

Please see below (in the indicated sub-page) some suggested raw materials for the platform of the herein suggested CARE FOR ALL (CFA) Party: Think Tent Thoughts -- A look back at the Occupy Movement.

Dear Dr. West: 

Greg Coleridge is a National Director of Move to Amendhttps://www.movetoamend.org/
and his concern about the People's Party is totally independent of my own--in re the New Republic's article that I already shared with you confidentially. 
Here is brother Greg's feedback: 
Moji: West is great, but a bad decision for him to run as the People's Party candidate...

Hello. Good work and great suggestions, Moji. 

It is important to get Dr. West on the ballot! I have met him and attended one of his seminars. He is a great choice, and stands head and shoulders above any of the other announced candidates...I am happy to support him as well.
